what do you need it for?  to hook to a PC?  to hook and an SGI/SUN?  if you
don't need the 13w3 right now, don't sweat it, worst case you can always get
an HD15 to 13w3 converter.  what are they, like $5 or so (for the cheap ones
that don't do anything to the signal, which you don't need, cause the 20e21 is
a nice multisync)
