BG Micro of Garland Texas has, in its catalog of bits and pieces, an item # CAB1091 which is described as "DB15 female to 10 pin header." The picture shows something that looks like about 12" long, and I am assuming that its a panel mount though I cant tell from the picture. I realise that the header will probably be the wrong pitch and will have to be cut off even if its pins did match but it should be simple enough to patch in a short length of 1mm pitch cable with header attached. Anyway, for $0.59 I am ordering a couple.

Thanks StarFish, thats the best, concise, exact post on this subject to date. Everyone else seems to be guessing at the grounds. I take it you have tried these connections and it works without noise, jitter, etc?

The connectors came in, they are female panel mount, perfect with a 10" lead and the wrongsized connector. Oh woll I will change headers.

I would have added it to this Thread:
I-Opener Technical Info Reference (MODERATED) / VGA out / VESA DDC? / Tackhead

But I get the Following:
Script Error
Couldn't open/read the macm.info file
Path: /home/codeman/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UBData/Members
Reason : No such file or directory

I have seen this Before, while others, could Continue to Post to the Thread !
I Hope the Message Board is Not Degrading !!!
Hopefully It is just I am Locked out for Some Reason
