I just got hold of a Sun monitor. It's a _huge_ thing, and I want to swap out my present MAG-17F for it. I have a couple of problems, and I'm looking for assistance. One thing is the cable that came with it. One end is a perfectly normal 15 pin VGA, the other end has been hacked, and just ends in 5 wires. The wires are red, green, blue, gray, and black. I've been told that the red, green, and blue are the RGB video, black is sync, and gray ground. What I need it the kind of connector that the Sun monitor seems to want, which is a very strange one: sort of a 25 pin D connector, with several of the pins being replaced with larger coax connectors. Like a D-connector on steroids. Does anyone know where I might get one of these beasts, and maybe how to wire it? I doubt I could even count pins right on it (unless maybe it comes labeled). Thanks for any help. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
