>can you  use a PC monitor with a sun sparc station?

Yes, with an adaptor, but the monitor *must* support Sun's video specs
otherwise even with the adaptor it's not going to work for you. Ultraspec in
the US (at "http://www.ultrapsec.com/13w3adap.htm") make adaptors to do
this, and I can supply them at a reasonable price. I'm currently waiting on
a shipment of some Ultraspec items to arrive for some other clients...

You're looking at $75 each for any of the #1395, #1396 or #1397 adaptors.
To specifically use a PC monitor with a Sun you'll need a #1395 adaptor,
which plugs into the Sun D13W3 video socket and presents a HD-15 PC video
connector for output to the PC monitor.

Regards,

Craig.
