- Kel Jones (Sun Aus. Marketing) told me at the Melbourne launch last week that
- the 1024x768 monitor was not being sold in Australia as they could not get a
- Southern hemisphere version. This may change later. This is not a straight
- VGA monitor, however, as it has a DB13W3 connector, so as to supply ID
- information to the system.
-
- Given that the signals are otherwise similar, it may be possible to hardwire
- a DB13W3 to SVGA adapter.
