Nico,
   Thanks for that info!  And yes, I've found that "sync on green" also
applies to some of the older cards from non-Apple sources as well.  This makes
a confusing maze out of getting some of these to work with, say, an adapter to
a RGB display!  Some will need five BNC's and some will work with only three
for example!  And yes, there are also those that need four!  Some of these RGB
monitors will require a "special" cable for this very reason and one Mac you=

might get it to work with only an adapter and four, but on another, it'll take
five! =20


Geez!
