I tried the VAXstation 4000 VLC on a Smile CA-1706. There are just a few
things to look for:

The monitor must support sync-on-green (better ones do, especially Sony)
The frequencies must be in the "high-end-area", ok, early 90s this was max.
78 KHz. AFAIK, LCG uses 1280x1024@72Hz, the other stuff is below this. SPX can
use 2 frequency ranges, one is 1280x1024, the other is 1024x864, but i don't
know the frequencies exactly. DEC monitors use 54, 64, 70 and 78 KHz.
So, if your monitor supports this, it might work fine.
