I've been given a Princeton Graphics SR-12P monitor for free. The only
problem is that it is a PGA monitor. I checked the specs, and the freq.
seems fine to use with VGA, but PGA used separate H and V sync, where 
I understand VGA uses a combined sync.

Since I'm not a hardware hacker (at least not analog), is there a simple
way to adapt the monitor to handle combined sync, a VGA board to generate
separate sync (I presume that graphics boards generate two separate syncs
and then combined them before the connector), or a VGA board available
that also works with older PGA monitors?
