Joe,
A good multisync that supports sync-on-green will be your best bet. I've got
lots of SGI and SUN systems - and that kind of monitor will work on just
about everything. You're in for a lot more hassle if the monitor doesn't do
sync-on-green.
Some Indigo and Indigo II's video options do support more standard SVGA
signals - but it's not straightforward. (The SGI hardware developers manual
has MANY pages devoted to the subject).
Sun and SGI have different pinouts for 13W3 to SVGA, so be sure to purchase or
make the correct adapters for each.
You may want to look in the archives of this list - there was a detailed
discussion of this subject (by myself and others) a month or two back.
