Maybe it's a FAQ ... I apologize. But I don't subscribe
to this newsgroup regularly, so I don't know. 

I urgently need some pointers (or even better
information) about port layout on graphic cards of
workstations and X-terminals. The aim is to issue a
technical market view of such stuff. Some manufacturers
have answered my questions freely, such as Sun, IBM,
Tektronix and others. HP, DEC and SGI did not, and I
would rather avoid printing an article without their
data (which I would have to do blaming those who didn't
answer). 

Following data is required:

- type of connector and pin layout at the graphic card
  side of the cable
- wave impedance of cabling and signal sources (mostly
  75 Ohms).
- peak signal voltage
- polarity of sync pulses horizontally and vertically
- available resolutions and picture refresh rates

I'd well appreciate every piece of the mosaic since I
have really gotten hot at the moment some of the
manufacturers haven't answered :-)

Please mail directly. Thanks.
