I don't know if this will help, but I had a problem when I hooked an Amigen
genlock between my 2000 and my 2002 monitor.  The screen rolled vertically
and horizontally - sync was all screwed up.  Then I noticed that the 23-pin
to 9-pin cable that came with the 2002 had no connections to pins 6, 8, and
9.  The new 9-pin to 9-pin cable that came with the Amigen had all 9 pins
connected, which means the monitor was picking up H-sync, V-sync, and C-sync
all at the same time.  So I took a pair of diagonal cutters and hacked off
pins 6, 8, and 9 at the male end of the cable.  Works fine.

Could be that the NEC messes up when more than composite-sync is provided.
