Sun Microsystems Monitor

[DanielHerrmann]

I bought a sun microsystems 21" CRT monitor. My friend told me it had DVI... but I'm tellin you all it WON'T fit from all of the DVI card pictures I have seen. From left to right its got 1 big pin, the set of small pins and then two more big pins. I looked on the sun website and found:
Video input Connectors: HD-15, BNC
Cables included: HD15M/HD15m 1.8 meters and HD15/BNC 2 meters

What the heck kind of cable is that? Its NOT DVI, right?

Does no one know........ ?

 

[DanielHerrmann]

Can someone tell me that they don't know? Or is it that this is a really stupid question and no one wants to bother?

 

[NoStateofMind]

I don't know.

 

[DanielHerrmann]

Ok... That makes me feel better at least.

I found the info from the first post at

Its the second one down. x7199a

Idea: Might it have something to do with a direct server connection?

That monitor has BNC connectors, correct? You will probably need something like this...

Its got a regular monitor connection on it too. I'm using it with my geforce4. I just wanted to know what that other thing was.

That site has a dvi plug... My monitor doesn't have dvi at all... or those coax type cables.

 

[nitromullet]

Those coax type plugs are the BNC connectors. As long as you have a regular VGA, you're fine though.

 

[DanielHerrmann]

I know I'm fine. I just want to know what the heck the other plug is... If I take a picture of it can someone host it for me so I can post it?
