Well, *all* video is basically just differences in connectors.
But, some connectors also encode information about the monitor
for the host (static or dynamic schemes). Some like to
put sync on separate pins -- others like SoG, etc.
And, having all these "adapter plugs" on the ends of cables
doesn't help signal quality -- nor does it make things any
*cheaper* or more reliable! :-(

Sun/PC/AppleDB15 are all just VGA with different packaging. I read the
manual for my Apple 15" Monitor, and it has a pinout in the back
describing that it was basically VGA on a different connectior.
