Don't throw out that monitor.  The Sony 1302 is probably one of the best
and most flexible 13 inch monitors you can get.  I bought an Orchid VGA
card with 512k RAM; I called Orchid for their recommendation on monitors
and the Sony 1302 was suggested as the only one available that could do all
possible resolutions that the card could put out.  This was a year and a half
ago.  I'm so pleased with it that I'm currently buying one for a Mac II system
that uses a TrueVision video card.

I had to made my own cable though.  If you can't get a cable try calling
Cables To Go at 800/826-7904.  They sent me the SONY CTG-512 which was
close but NOT right.  I modified it rather than sending it back.  I would
hope that they can supply the correct one by now.
