156500 2003-06-30 12:01:00 I've recently been given a Sun 17" monitor from a friend who couldn't use it due to its 13w3 plug. Can this monitor be used with a standard VGA video card, are there any limitations, and does anyone know where I can get an adapter for 13w3 to 15-pin VGA? (without paying $70 for it!) :) Thanks for your help!! Space_coyote (759)
156501 2003-07-01 02:57:00 I have the other end of the problem.

I have a sun work station and cant get an adaptor for using it with a VGA display.

as far as I know you can hock them up with some limites of the refresh rate and such like.

as for &70 for the adaptor, I was told itmine would be $150 so you have it easy :-)

where are you in NZ??
we might be able to get togeather and solve our problems togeather??

The main trick with the cable is to use decent coax for the three video channels. That's why the proper cables are expensive. :D

The pinout for the special connector should be easy to find ... I've seen it/got it somewhere.
