Default VGA Monitor and Sun GX SBus adapter - Compatible?

I am trying to get an OLD 630MP up and running but my first attempt
gives me a blank screen.

I used a Sun-VGA adapter to try to plug the output of the Sun GX SBus
adapter to my regular PC monitor. But no luck. No output. Just a blank
screen.

I located another adapter that has 3-dip switches on it labeled 1-3 &
On/Off. Not sure what it is or if it is safe to use. Any ideas on
using it? Or DIP settings? Unfortunately no name on the thing either
so makes it tough. Also have a Sun to VGA cable made by Sun but
haven't tried it yet either.

Does anyone know if this card is compatible with or able to use a VGA
monitor?


Also when I hit the power switch I get a beep and some quick blinks of
the lights in the keyboard but nothing on the monitor and no other
activity. No flash on the CD and just a couple clicks from the hard
disk. After that the lighted keys on the keyboard will not light up
when pressed. I also noticed the diagnostic LEDs blink in sequence
with the last light remaining on, then they start blinking in sequence
again.

Any help gratefully appreciated.


Thanks,

Mike
