If you're looking for an adapter to connect the HD-15 (three rows totaling 15 pins) of a VGA video card to the DB-15 (not actually a DB but it's common usage, two rows totaling 15 pins) of an old Mac monitor, you might try Griffen Technology. I think they're at griffentech.com or maybe griffontech.com. They used to sell a good one but it was a little pricey--up around $15 each. On the other hand, they're not all that easy to find any more, so that may be your best option. Adapters going the other way are still common. I have a box of about 30 of them still after selling a few score.
