The Sony Trinitron "should" work. You may have a Sun adapter. If it's truly
a "sync-on-green" monitor, you should only need the color (coax) connections
to make it work. As I suggested before, you might want to connect up a pc
running terminal emulation (vt100) on a serial port to the serial port in the
Indy. That way you can login as root, run setmon to set the resolution and
frequency to something compatible with your monitor (typically 1024x768 at
60Hz). When you finally get it running you can try 70Hz or 75Hz.
