I originally used an Extron RGB-HDMI 300A to convert VGA from the TenoxVGA adapter into HDMI to feed that into a modern monitor.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div></div>1) I got a few people asking me where the tindie store is, the item has yet to be approved for it to appear, but this will be the url: <a href="https://www.tindie.com/products/32535/" class="">https://www.tindie.com/products/32535/</a><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2) I also got the question how I set up the TenoxVGA adapter. What I did was put a DB9 cable into the Sun. I made an adapter going from DB9 female to DB15 female and used that to connect the Sun cable with the TenoxVGA. On the TenoxVGA outgoing side, it's just a regular VGA cable to a VGA-capable monitor. The TenoxVGA was fed with 12V as well.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The wiring I ended up with (tried a few things) is:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><font face="Courier" class=""><span style="font-style: normal;" class="">DB9 male (from Sun)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>DB15 female (to TenoxVGA)</span></font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier" class="">1 ECL+ ---------------- 9</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier" class="">3 HSYNC --------------- 13</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier" class="">4 VSYNC --------------- 14</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier" class="">5 GND ----------------- 5, 10</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier" class="">6 ECL- ---------------- 4</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier" class="">8 SYNC return --------- 15</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><div class="">I think ECL+ should actually go to 4 and ECL- to 9, but at one point I inverted this as I wanted black letters on a white background, but swapping these over did not have any apparent effect. I could also not find much information online about all the pinouts. I just looked at the TenoxVGA schematic and figured out what should probably go where. Use at your own risk.</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">3) I have an old Sun2 ECL monitor (made by Philips) that has a defect I cannot find. It used to work.
