AFAIK, the general "rule of thumb" is that SGI uses Sync-on-Green, Sun
use seperate combined (H+V) sync and PeeCees use seperate (H/V) sync.
Ofcourse there could be some obscure differences on some boards that I
don't know of.
I would love to get my hands on a 9U VME Sun graphics board that would
do sync-on-green, since I have some (4) IBM monitors back in a
"junk-yard" that has only 3 BNC's.
