But, I found a <random> 13W3<->3BNC
adapter in one of my
goodie boxes. The 13W3 connector is "just right" (sex,
form factor, mounting, etc.).
So, the issue (and hence the question!) is: what sort of
device might *want* this adapter (i.e. why should I *keep*
it and not just salvage parts from it)? Note that the
BNC pigtails are only a few inches long so I assume this
would be attached to a 3BNC monitor and a "regular" Sun
cable used to tether that to the CPU.
It does look like a magic adapter to allow Sun workstations and others
to use a RGB sync on green momitor. Have a look at the BNC connectors
- one should be marked blue, one green and the other red.
The adapter he found could be a NeXT 13w3 to 3 BNC. They were supplied with
the first series of NeXT N4005 Hitachi 21" monitors which had three BNC
connections. Later N4005's had a 13w3 connection.
