What's the point of your comment? The Decstation 5000/200 doesn't
have these connectors so it doesn't make any difference. The
standard cable provided by DEC for these machines basically took
their 3 pin connector to 3 BNC connectors. This can be connected
to a monitor that has BNC connectors and supports the appropriate
frequencies. Since the video connectors on the 5000 series
workstations were somewhat unusual they can easily be overlooked
by someone who isn't familiar with them.

By standard I meant something that had been used
elsewhere. If
you have never seen this connector before, there is a good chance
that you wouldn't guess its a video connector. Standard connectors
I associate with video are VGA, 13W3 and BNC, this looks like none
of them.
Would that be 9-pin or 15-pin VGA?
Besides, the 3W3 looks rather similar to the 13W3. And what about D23, D15,
DIN-13, DIN-5, D9, in a lot of odd configurations. > >The three pins are R,G,B with I believe

If I remember correctly, the 5000 line had
relatively standard
video frequencies, it was the monitors that were fixed frquency
and couldn't be switched between different models. I suspect
it is either 1024x768 or 1280x1024, it will depend upon the
graphics option that's installed.
Or 1024_864. =)
