I have a Dell Monitor that has 2 inputs. A common VGA and a DVI-D (Dual Link) as shown in the third (pre finally) picture that I give.

Has anyone got a VGA to DVI-D (Dual Link) adapter?

And if exist two of them still better.

Unfortunately in my home island I find only VGA in DVI-I Dual Link like the one on second picture.

AFAIK since I'm not expert... DVI-D has only digital signal so... it's kinda difficult to convert analog (VGA) to digital (DVI-D) just by a simple adapter.
You can find such adapters in Amazon:

... but you will find out that they're not working just for the reason I'm saying.

You need an VGA to DVI-D Convertor which is a lot more expensive than you think :p

The prefix "D" is digital only, while "I" is both analog and digital.

This one you're looking for?

EDIT: Wrong picture, that was DVI-A.
 
I simply have an ancient Dell Monitor (1024x768 the max) that has to inputs. One normal VGA, second DVI in the format of the third picture. I doubt that this thing is digital and I doubt it needs something so expensive to work. An alternative could be a cheap monitor with two VGA inputs. Want it for an Amiga with BVision and Indivision.
 
If it's only got a DVI-D input, it'll only take DVI signals. You need the four pins around the bar to connect VGA to a DVI input. In fact, DVI-A is just VGA over some dedicated wires on the DVI port, nothing more clever than that.
 
Well... You can try the Amazon link I gave ya that has the VGA to DVI-D that is "El'Cheapo Grande" to gief it a try :p
Since your VGA monitor is quite old, you never know... it might work lol
If it doesn't work, then you'll check other options.
 
I have one of these:

I presume that's what you are looking for...
