Actually, that monitor is very close to being able to work, because the
vertical retrace frequency of standard Sun colour video signals is 66 Hz,
which is only 2 Hz off what your monitor apparently works at. This is only
a 3 percent difference, so you should be able to tweak the monitor to use
66 Hz instead of 68 unless the innards are completely microprocessor
controlled (unlikely if it's set to one frequency only).

Regards,

Craig.
