Oops, sending problems, sorry if this is a dup. Need sleep.

I was looking around - Belkin has such a beast, to connect Sun Kbd, mouse 
and monitor to a PeeCee.

....and if you were 8 hours further east in Montreal, you could get a Sun 
monitor, due to McGill cleaing out a lab.  In fact, I've got a GDM-17E10 
here which my roommate picked up in the mistaken idea he could hook it up 
to his Wintel box (HA! Though it is possible, it involves a bit of internal 
rewiring and you still need an adapter) so it's just taking up space here.  
Free to good home, and yes, this time I'd even let der Mouse take it :-)

Adapters to hook VGA monitors to 13W3 are fairly easy to find on ebay. (I 
also saw the Belkin box there)
