Is there a 9-pin to 15-pin adaptor for old mono video card to mono vga monitor?

Is there a 9-pin to 15-pin adaptor for old mono video card(9-pin) to mono vga monitor(15-pin)?

A business has an old 200MHz Pentium Pro running OS/2 and some DOS application software. It has 2 video cards, one is mono w/ a 9-pin plug, the other is vga. The 9-pin video monitor has gone the way of all electronics and died. What can I do to get the mono video card up and working again? I don't think there are any 9-pin mono monitors around anymore.

Why would you want to get a 9-pin (EGA?) video card working again? Just buy a VGA video card; you can get them for less than $10, ISA or PCI.

And yes, you can still find 9-pin monitors. I've got a couple in storage. Try eBay. The adapters also exist. Here's one:

I wish that adaptor would work for us, but I need a 15-pin female with a 9-pin male. I just called Belkin and they don't make them. I'll give eBay a look.

Well, it's hard to google for this old stuff, but if you get desperate, you can always use gender-changer adapters on that Belkin thing.

You cannot use a monochrome card (TTL logic - digital) on a VGA monitor (analog). The other fellow was right. Just get a cheap VGA card.

I think I have a few old isa and vlb 256coler trident cards lying around. I'll let one go for $10 shipped if you need to (if I can find them) just pm me.

I think I may have found a monitor. Close thread and thanks to all.
