[HECnet] Vaxsvtation 4000 graphics to VGA?

I’ve got two VAXstation 4000s, and I think they both have a graphics card in them - one with a weird connector with 3 circular sockets and another with a DB25-looking thing and they seem to have a picture of a monitor on them.

So a couple of questions?

Anyone know where I can get an adapter cable for one or the other of those to a VGA monitor? (basically, does anyone have a spare that they’d like to sell)?

Are they likely to work with an LCD monitor or do I need to get an older CRT one?

Finally, can I use the LK keyboard from a VT420 as the “console keyboard”? How about mice, are these still available (or does someone want to sell me one)?

Thanks for any advice..

Sampsa
