I used to add the seperate syncs to the green input

Depends on the monitor, I guess. The XOR trick always worked, however.
The GDM-1950 didn't even need that--it has 5 BNCs with separate H and V
sync. The 17 incher is a Sony carrying the HP number 98789A; and has just
RGB BNCs. Both work just fine at1024x768, and up untl about a year ago,
were still in use. Now they're just sitting in a corner.
Now that would be a collectible item. How stupid
though, right about the time the EGA came out, and
IIRC synced to an EGA monitor. Good luck finding one though...
Funny thing was is they sent me two Herc Plus cards free gratis and offered
to send me the InColor if I wanted one, but I couldn't see the logic in my
having one, since EGA had already been introduced. Besides, the Herc Plus
cards were really nifty for the time--downloadable fonts with 12 bit
character codes. Heck, if there was a video card that could do that and
proportional spacing, I'd probably still be text-only today.
