Yeah found some cables on ebay for Sun?s version of 3W3 but they look a bit different.
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?
Any idea if DEC mice are still available?

But the connector, which is like a DA-15 shell,
with just
three coaxial connectors inside ....
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.
