Hi, does anyone know where I can get hold of Sun monitor cables (ideally
in the UK)? I have four SS2 pizza boxes, an IPX, monitors, keyboards,
mice, and lots of external drives, but no monitor cables! I did get one of
them running after wiring the monitor with individual soldered wires from
connector to connector, and I have also had a couple of them running over
a serial console, but I'd like to get some proper monitor leads so that I
can set them up and sell them as full systems (I want to keep one for my
collection, but the rest are just taking up space that could be used for
other junk, er, classic hardware). They use 13W3 D type connectors, and I
did actually manage to get hold of the connector shells from Farnell, but
they don't seem to be able to get hold of the signal pins for them.
Also, about half of the external SCSI boxes use a weird oversized-D SCSI
connector (I think it might be an early SCSI 1 format) that I haven't been
able to find cables for either. I'm not as bothered about those, but if
anybody knows where I can find them (and adapters to SCSI2, which is what
all the controllers use) cheaply, that would be cool too.
