You need to get an adapter from standard (now) sun color out to the monitor. I know they exist, as I have a few old 21" sun monitors here attached to newer suns, and a 21" color monitor is too damn expensive to throw away. From there, you will need another adapter from sun to vga out. They exist as well. You will have to get these from sun, and unfortunately, sun is expensive.
