Entria X-terminals want sync on green (ie, 3 BNC connector monitor). PC
monitors are separate sync (ie, 5bnc) whereas a Sun IPX wants composite
sync (4 BNC). I've obtained HP A4032A monitors which are 5 BNC, and
which were being used with entria X-terminals by connecting to only
the 3 bnc connectors, and i've successfull used them with a PC with
the appropriate 5bnc <-> HD15 cable, and with a Sun IPX using a 4bnc <->
13W3 adapter.

I think the A4032A's were also on the 2 HP computers we have in our department,
i think they may have been HP 9000's of some model, but i'm not positive
at the moment.
