With much sadness, when I picked up all my NeXT stuff this September I was unable to find room to also pack the color monitor for my Color Station (I seriously wish I had just strapped it to the roof now that I think of it :roll: )
Anyways, I need a new monitor to substitute it. since it uses a 13W3 connector, does it require a Sync-on-Green compatible monitor? I can recall it does but I'm not positive.

yes it requires a SOG monitor, but what I want to ask is, if this adapter would work?

Slomacuser:
Yep - looks like that will work, but you'll also need a VGA gender changer.
BTW, the readily available Samsung SyncMaster LCD monitors work fine.

Arrgh!
Why is it that all the good computers require Sync-On-Green monitors?

Well, you can buy a SOG converter box from somewhere online (I forget where, but it is small and blue - gtnicol should know where, though). I use it for my slab with a D-sub 15 gender changer, 13W3-D-sub 15 adaptor (same one as slomacuser posted), and a widescreen LCD (which I only have the analog cable for).

I have an adaptor like that and the apropriate gender changer connected to my turbo colour 'station, it works quite well. Surprisingly my el cheapo, no-name LCD panel is happy to display the SOG signal.

Found it here (http://www.si87.com/Products/Cabling/Adapters/ss1spec.html).
I use that with a non-SOG LCD monitor. It's $79 - a bit steep, especially considering the color :wink:, but cheaper than any SOG LCD I could find.
