I think this might be skirting the 10 year rule, but if anyone would
know or know where to look, it'd be youse guys.
I was just given a 3/80, an IPC, and a 20" Sun GDM (which I
assume to mean Trinitron) monitor. Is there an adapter cable that
will allow me to use the monitor on one of my Macs?
The IPC has a pair of NIC's in it, so I'd like to set it up as an IP
router/firewall later this year when I get DSL. Always wanted a
piece of Sun equipment in my network..... :o)
Any help and/or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Yeah, I think so. If it has BNC's it'll be easier... the Mac-to-BNC cable
is fairly common. Fry's might even have it. If not, try www.worldwyde.com...
they make cards and cables to use fixed-freq. monitors with a PC, but I'm not
sure about Mac stuff.

You need to do a search with the full model number, GDM covers a range from
hopeless to wonderful. Griffin technology is the web site I like. I'm not
sure about the exact adapter you might need, but suspect either a SVGA to
13W3 cable or converter will be needed (I've seen them on eBay, ouch $30).

If your monitor's a GDM1950, that's just a SONY model GDM1950, common for
1280x1024, and the BNC adapter to the DE15 VGA connector often shows up at
places like Best Buy for about $20. There are lots of SUN monitors, but
this one's pretty common. If you're planning to use it with a MAC, there's
another cable adapter that's commonly used to translate the VGA cable pinout
to the MAC DA15. I see lots of these in used computer shops nowadays.
