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.

Never seen where they went the other way around though. Well, I strongly believe you mean the topic How do I run an old monitor on sawtooth started by Brian Christmas on Nov. 17, 2008. He was looking for such an adaptor, but couldn't find it in Australia. At that time I had several of these laying around and only one still in use (and even till now to connect a ColorSync 20-inch to a VooDoo-3 in my PM 9699/350). Till around 2 yrs ago I used 2 of these adaptors to connect 2 ColorSync's 20-inch to a Sawtooth. Never had/have any problems. Well and after sending one to Brian Christmas he told me the adapter also works well with him. I know they are hard to find now. But last week I saw still several in a small local (Amsterdam, NL) Apple Service Station. They sell them for € 15 (= US$ 21,85 today). And perhaps I also have still one in my Old Mac Mass. Have to dig.

Re: Adapter for the OLD Monitors with use with VGA card.
Right, I have a monitor that is on a Beige G3 that I want to connect to a VGA connector on a BW G3. So, I need to go from VGA to the four pin Apple Monitors.

Re: Adapter for the OLD Monitors with use with VGA card.
wait.. the old four pin was RGB.. the monitor is a DB-15.. isn't that what they called them?? And the VGA/SVGA is what the Blue and White uses... Anyways.. I have a DB-15 Monitor and I want to hook it up to the VGA port of the BW.

Re: Adapter for the OLD Monitors with use with VGA card.
Looking at ebay, it seems all that is advertised is the adapter to hook the old Beige computers up to VGA monitors. Nothing to hook the old DB-15 monitors to a HD-15 card. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Adapter for the OLD Monitors with use with VGA card.
I saw a post awhile back where someone was trying to interface an old apple monitor to a newer VGA card. Was there any resolution to that? Does anyone make an adapter for the old monitors for use with the VGA standard sockets? I know they made adapters to go from the old mac computers to use with the VGA Monitors. Never seen where they went the other way around though. Thanks so much!
