Cables to connect a SPARCSTATION to PC monitor/keyboard

[trivass]

Hi,

I have acquired a SPARCSTATION 5 [no keyboard/mouse/monitor], and would like to know if it is possible to use my existing PC monitor [Sony HMD-V200]and standard Windows keyboard with this box.

Thank you in advance.

There are adapters to convert from the Sparc RGB to the VGA. They run about 40-60 bucks depending on where you get it from. Block Box, Sun and others make them. I see them on eBay all the time.

Thanks for the info Mike.
Does such an adapter allow me to use the PC keyboard and mouse?

Different adapter.. you end up with some issue about keyboad mapping since the sparc uses softkeys for things like STOP A and the like.
