Just a hardware question...
Can i connect a normal monitor (hd15) on a sparcstation20 (13w3)?
are there adaptors, or this could lead on damaging one of them?

No problem. I am using one of those adapters to connect my
SunBlade150 (uses hd15) to my old behemoth Sony GDM 20E20 (13W3)
and i never had any issues whatsoever.

Just one word of caution though, i first bought a cheap adapter ($7)
from my friendly neighbourhood computer HW junk shop, didn't work.
I had to shell out $16 (or thereabout if i remember correctly), worked like
a charm the first time.
