Atari Falcon 030 VGA
After recently purchasing the Falcon 030, I had a terrible problem trying to obtain the adapters (C303109-001) to hook up a VGA (15 pin) monitor. I managed to get a diagram and spoke to Atari who helped by informing me of an undocumented requirement.
I know that Atari shipped the adapters recently so there should be no problem now, for those who can't wait or prefer to DIY, I have included the Maplin part numbers.
