I am trying to connect to an old (circa 2007) Linux box that I use for image processing. I've never had to connect to the box physically, I always did everything over telnet. But now I want to access it directly.
I tried to hook up a monitor but it doesn't have vga or dvi. All it has is this weird port that I cannot identify.
It's not dvi (that would require a bar pin and 3 vertical pins).
This has 15 horizontal, 4 vertical, and missing pin 13, 4 (top left is 1,1).
I can't post images right now due to low rep. I'll upload images when I can. It's white, boxy, dvi-looking. This is it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GS1icd2d6vaEQMPMf89y4v6JnB_oMkov

Attached via pci card, not mobo.
What is this port? If it is video, what are the specs/outputs or converter to get it into something useful?
Answer
That's a single-port dual-monitor vga/dvi connector called a DMS-59 (Dual Monitor Solution-59 pin). You need a "Y" adapter to split out to VGA or DVI
