Hi there.
  
  I wonder if there is anyone there that is familiar with the Sun computer 
video connector.  
  
  I have an old Sun on which I installed Linux and a standard PC which  runs 
windows.  I can run both on the same monitor that I have  which sports two 
inputs.  I can toggle between them.  I still  will need two keyboards and mice, 
but that is small and easy.  
  
  The problem is that the Sun has that special connector, though the  monitor 
is VGA.  I found several adaptors in eBay but the first  vendor warns that each 
Sun monitor output is different and that if I  use the wrong adaptor I can burn 
the video card, or the monitor, or the  computer - and I wonder if I could 
bring down the whole power grid too!
  
  Is it true?  Are the contacts different from one Sun model to  another, or 
all Sun video connectors are the same?  Do I need a  specific adaptor?  
  
  Thanks,
  
  Sergio
