Mmmmm
VGA and 9-pin serial havethe same size, so it should be good
enough if you find one belonging to an old muti-IO-card with
space for 2 9-pin-serial ports.

Got a bunch of them flying around,but I doubt that they would be
worth P&P .....
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

So it is one hole for SUB-D-9 (same as SUB-D15) and one for SUB-D-25.

Or in other words:
1 9-pin serial + 1 25-pin serial or parallel.

Unbelieveable that these shoul be so hard to find  :-o

edit:
took me 15 secs to find one  :-P

Best way:
Search a flea-market orsimilar for an old ISA-IO-card
(or even VESA-local-bus).

These should have 1 parallel, 2 serial and 1 gameport, with either the
2 serial or 1 serial and the gameport connected via ribbon-cable
to a 2nd bracket. Most cards have 1 serial in 25pin and the 2nd in 9 pin,
leading to a situation where either the bracket on the card or the 2nd
one would fit your needs (allways the one without the gameport).
