Excuse me,
I know this isn't the right place to post this kind of question, but I've just posted this into the VidCard & Audio without results, can you help me?

I wanna know if with an adapter is possible use this kind of monitor on a Pc with a VgaCard.

Thanks

I have no clue. I would start by looking on the web for an adapter. If someone makes one then I bet it works.

I've found a cable adapter, from Spark 13W3M to D-SUB 15 HD M, but the probs is that the spark side is male like the monitor out.

Yes, it's a way,
but my prob is: it works on a Pc with a Vga card?
I'm not experienced on this kind of system :)

Sorry, you have reached the end of my knowledge, next please. I have worked with Suns, but they really frowned on taking them apart and seeing how they worked.

Thanks for your support Ridenow,
now I've found a Spark cable M/F, not Gender-Changer.

They make a 13W3M to PC adapter with the right Gender. I have one here in my drawer. Do a search for Sun Hardware. Just checked, A2Z cables has themwww.a2zcables.com (http://www.a2zcables.com) .

Do a search on Q71 or Q72

Please keep us posted, The Doors. Sun monitors aren't usually seen in Joe Schmoe's living room. It should definitely raise the tone in your abode. Among computer geeks, at any rate.

I hate to complain, but could you please spell "Sparc" "Sparc?" This "Spark" might be giving Sun's Scott McNealy indigestion. Perhaps that's not a bad thing, on second thought. I don't believe he's known as a real nice guy.

OK, time to move this back to where it belongs. I told you Skip had something like this in his boneyard! LOL

'Sun monitors aren't usually seen in Joe Schmoe's living room.'

"Joe Schmoe" in this case means "just regular folks," or "Mr and Mrs Average." Sun monitors(and the boxes they are hooked to) are more often found in professional surroundings, such as laboratories, graphics creation companies and astronomical observatories.
