I use NEC Multisync LCDs (1810X and 2080UX+ I think are the model numbers) with a lot of SOG systems, but haven't tried them with any SGIs yet. They work fine on stuff like HP-9000 series 300 machines, etc. I use VGA to BNC adapter cables that are cheap on Amazon, and leave the Hsync and Vsync BNCs dangling. Sometimes there is some banding and such, but it's still very usable. -Dave On 9/11/20 12:28 PM, Andrew Diller via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
Any SOG (sync-on-green) LCD panel works with SGI. I'm pretty sure there are some older Dell Panels around CDL or the warehouse which are SOG.
Doug will need a cable - DB13W3 to VGA to connect to them. I'm pretty sure VCF doesn't have such a cable. I won't be there this weekend so I cannot bring one for him. Perhaps someone else can.

Someone new (Doug Megill) to the workshop would like to know if anyone coming to the workshop has a monitor that works with a SGI Octane2 and a Sun Ultra 60 that both need help. We might have this in the VCF warehouse, but I would need to know model to see if we have one. Can anyone tell me?-- ========================================= Jeff Brace Vice President & Board Member Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey@vcfed.org cell: 732-759-1783
