The older SGI monitors are fixed frequency and require a special video
card. A number of 3rd party companies make PC PCI video cards for
workstation monitors. I ordered one for a very old Iris 4D monitor last
year for under $200.
You can find more information on SGI hardware through user discussion
groups such as;
