hi,
Is there a way to use SUN's workstation monitor?
We have some spare monitor here (machine is broken)
but I found that the monitor cable is different
from those in PC. Anyone has done this before?
Do I need a extra card or something else to use
it? Thanks for your suggestions.

It is possible. Note that while most PC monitors these days are multi-sync
meaning they can run at varying hor/vert frequencies, Sun monitors are
fixed-frequency (which by the way makes them cheaper to manufacture and also
people say more reliable). There are a handful of graphics adapters which
I do not know about the reverse but a PC multisync monitor works on SUns
if you buy a adapter to convert from 15pin VGA to 13W Sun. The adapters
are around $20.

I'm using an OLD Sun 3/60 19 monitor with my primary machine. The
only card I could locate that did composite sync (required for this
monitor, and perhaps for yours) was an ATI. cables can be found for
$30. And yes, having no text mode is a pain. I finally bought a 13
640x480 monitor for $50
