You must try only one combination:

  \   |_|    |_|    |_|   /
   \_____________________/
       R      G      B

That's the rear view of the video card as shown on your picture. It's 
easy to build an adapter cable with a VGA connector on the other side. 
You need a 3W3 D-type connector with 3 75 Ohm female coax contacts, but 
50 Ohm should also work. Your video card looks like the 8-plane card, so 
you need a monitor that supports sync-on-green and the non-standard 
resolution of 1024x800.
