SGI Indy 13w3 question

FWIW, if anyone is looking for a "everything" monitor.

If you feel like spending it, a Sun 365-1383 can be had for 200$ if you
look around. It'll do 1600x1200_at_75, and has both 13W3, and VGA inputs.
So far the one I use has worked on everything I've plugged it into.
PC's, Crimson's, Indy's, Octane's, and illogically enough.. Sun's. :-)

They're nice monitors, trinitron screen's, and well worth the money
(IMHO) - They're probably someone's OEM, but I don't know who's.
