OK, excuse me.  I did not ask the precise question that I wanted answered.

Could someone please explain to me what I need to check on my 
13W3-to-VGA adapter so that I can identify whether it should work with 
Sun framebuffers?  Neither it nor the packaging that it came in 
indicates Sun/SGI/whatever.

Not that it matters much now.  I have ordered a NOS Sun-branded 
13W3-to-VGA adapter.  It should be the right one for Sun h/w.
