 I want to use a sun color monitor (model hm-4115 to be exact) on the
Black/White port of a Sun 3/60.  The monitor has been used on
a cgfour board.  (I want to use this color monitor on the BW port to have
a 2-headed sun system.  The system already has a cgfour board connected
to a different monitor.)

 Is it possible to drive the color monitor of the BW port without having
to modify the monitor or sun itself, and without a lot of circuitry in
between?

 Unfortunately, I don't have the technical specs on either the CGfour
board or the BW port.

 I would be interested in any pointers people may have.  Post or
mail is fine.
