Help! - SparcStation 20

[grega]

Some advice greatly needed ... excuse my naivety ... I have just got hold of the above machine and am trying to connect a screen/monitor .. problem is all I have here is pile of monitors with the 15 pin (3 rows of 5) connection. The Sparc seems to have 2 available slots .. one is 2 rows (13 above, 12 below) and the other I haven't seen before .. looks kinda like

[tt]
O ::::: O O
[/tt]

if that makes any sense ... now because I can't find a monitor/screen with the correct pin config, I'll either have to buy one or ....

Is there some sort of adapter I can get which will convert the conventional 15-pin to one of the above?

Also, do these different pin configurations have names?

Any help much appreciated.

The connector you have described is a SUN connector.
You need a cable or adaptor from the SUN connection to standard VGA(3 rows) [sig][/sig]

The O ::::: O O connector that you speak of is a 13W3 connector and is used by both SUN and SGI. You need a 13W3 Computer to HD-15 Monitor connector. These are fairly common on e-bay and other various auction places.
