As druck says, VGA is the electrical connection. The only difference

Well, that's the Acorn groups for you. But the true story is always

OK then. Dave, your splitter may need the extra ID connection to obtain
the correct resolution for your monitor. A simple lower resolution VGA
connection scheme may not be enough to allow the splitter to convert to
your monitor timing signal.

I'm just curious why when you Google SVGA you get so many different
