Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Monitor for Sun SparcStation 10

[George <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I have a SUN 13w3 monitor...  I am willing to trade...  It is 17 inch or 
better...  Needs the 13w3 cable but other than that powers up and does not 
sync with a sgi (wrong sync color yet the pic is there and rolling) thus no 
use for me...  I would trade it for a copy of IRIX 6.3 or better...  or make 
me a counter offer...
