Some SGIs do put out a separate sync signal; some Suns do as well.
However, SGIs tend to provide separate hsync and vsync while Suns mostly
do composite sync. Moreover, they use different pins for the sync and
monitor type sense. I'm sure I posted the two pinouts to the list a while
ago.
But I've found almost all my multisync Sonys work with mu Indys and
Indigos, providing I have the relevant 13W3-3xBNC or whatever cable. I
think the only exception I've found was a Sun-badged Sony that wanted
composite sync.
