I just picked up this Power R Inc. Macintosh SE video adapter, which I know Bunsen posted about earlier (but I can't seem to find it now):

The question is, there's a DE-9 connector, but I was expecting a VGA

compatible connector. Does anyone know what kind of monitor can be

connected to this device? Do I need an additional adapter to further

convert to VGA? Given it was designed for the SE and presumably Apple monitors of the era, I was a little surprised that it didn't use the standard Apple DB-15 monitor connector, though it seems geared toward LCD presentation panels, so that might explain it.

These are the specs:
