I have an FM Towns CX-20 and I was wondering if there was a convertor to take this DB15 > VGA.

wiki says it uses the same DB-15 RGB pinout as older Apple's. So I would think maybe an adapter like this would work.

If it's just a different pinout then make a converter cable or box.

Well I found out that this wont work since the signal from the FM Towns is 15KHz. I dont have a monitor that would support that refreshrate so I have resorted to using an old XRGB. works great now!
