Probably because SUN didn't use 3W3, but used 13W3... :-)

Yeah found some cables on ebay for Sun?s version of 3W3 but they look a bit different.
But the connector, which is like a DA-15 shell,

It's called a "3W3" connector. It, and variations some pins and some
coax connectors, were fairly common on workstations once upon a time.
A cable from 3W3 to 3xBNC should be easy to find. HOWEVER, none of the
VAXstation-4000 graphics cards output anything like VGA video, and whether your PC monitor
will sync up with the VAXstation is a different question.
So basically if I get a 3W3 -> 3xBNC cable, hook
that up to a sync-on-green to ?regular? VGA video adapter I can probably plug in a
monitor, correct?
Depends on what you mean by "a sync-on-green to ''regular'' VGA video
adapter", but for some instance of that, the answer would be yes.
Any idea if DEC mice are still available?
Only used. And you'll need to search around.
