Might be the right time to ask this one: I've been hunting around for a 
way (an adapter?) that I can use a regular VGA monitor on my HP 700/RX 
Xterm. It has a VGA connector (HD15 or whatever) but is set up for a SOG 
monitor. (I put the nice big A4033A monitor from it on the Indigo2.)

I'd like to set it up with a small (15/17") VGA monitor, but it appears 
I need some circuitry to make that work. Others claim that modern 
monitors support SOG. If so, my spares are too old or too cheap...

Any suggestions?
