    No such luck, I'm afraid. Trust me in this area: sync on green, or no
    dice. Basically, it's not the cabling that determines sync, it's what
    the monitor is built to support.

    I've been here before, a number of times. I can tell you what ~won't~ work:

    - Many Apple ColorSync monitors (perversely enough)
    - Apple Studio Displays of the weird blue or graphite frogleg format
    ~that use DiamondTron tubes from Mitsubishi~

    best always,
