[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] help connecting workstation monitor to PC

nordin@qucis.queensu.CA (Brent Nordin) (04/14/91)

I have a 19" colour monitor salvaged from a workstation that I would like to
connect to a PC video board.  The monitor wants to see its sync signals either
composite on the green signal, or composite but not mixed with one of 
the colour signals.  The problem is that all the video boards I have looked
at so far have the standard 15-pin connector that contains 5 separate signals
corresponding to R, G, B, h-sync, and v-sync.

Can anyone either help me build whatever is necessary to match the monitor
and video board, or guide me to a video board that offers the sorts of signals
that I need?  In the latter case, I would prefer a board that is well-
supported in both the ISC UNIX and DOS/Windows worlds.
