  The 15-pin connector was introduced with the VGA in 1987.  Older
types used a 9-pin connector.

  I'm aware of two "common" exceptions:

1.  Some high-end monitors accept 4 or 5 BNC connectors instead.  A
very few video crds provide similarly separate output connectors, a
15-pin to multiple BNC cable is more common.

2.  The original NEC Multisync monitor had a 9-pin connector (it came
out before VGA), but could easily adapt to VGA signals by adding a 9-
to-15 pin adapter.
