SMC Monitor

Hello peeps.

I picked up a nice (almost-flat screen, chunky but hidden controls with the
right 'feel' etc) Monitor from college a few days ago. A google for it's
pinout comes up fruitless however. The text on the back reads:

VGA MONO MONITOR
Model: EM-1417
<power drain specs omitted>
Hor: 31.5KHz/35.2KHz
Ver: 45Hz-85Hz

The text on the front is an "SMC" logo, rendered in precisely the same way
as an IBM logo. Thin blue lines - how weird!

The connector is circular, with 13 pins arranged in a square matrix fashion,
unlike DIN which has angled pins.
Asciification:

Crap, but you get the point. Is it usable with a today's 'standard' VGA
HD15-type card? I'm thinking crisp console here...
