This moorning I received a new 13W3 to HD15 adapter from K1Connectivity. This was a Sun to VGA adapter but I ordered because it was the cheapest adapter I find in Ebay, very very cheap!!. Acordingly with this topic in the Nekochan forums, depending of the monitor it can work or not. Using a Sun adapter you need a Sync on Green monitor and the monitor has to cut the oder signals. I have a SoG monitor but it has problems with the other signals wired in the adapter. Two solutions are available:
1.- Cut the pins that I don't need from the adaptor.
2.- Take out the 13W3 plug of the adaptor and make a new cable.
Finally I created a new cable: Cleaning the 13W3 plug was dificult because it was plenty of glue to fix of the cables (the quality of manufacture is very good). I only wired pins A1, A2 and A3 and their shileds to pins 1,2 and 3 of the HD15 (male to plug directly to the monitor). The shields in the HD15 are welded togheter and only one wire and needed to do the cable adapter (bridging all the shields in the 13W3).
And it works!!!
It is not a beauty adaptor but with a new plug case and a little bit of glue it is usable until the end of the days!!!
