I have no idea, but I owned one once. It's just a typical converter but for a specific need..not sure what that need is.  It didn't work on my a1200, and I ended up bypassing it by solding past it.  No idea what it was originally intended for.

I figured it out... the 23pin->15pin VGA dongles which have a pcb in them are buffered.  The purpose is to reduce the amount of load on the port so that it doesn't think it has a genlock conncted and then drop the sync.  Just an improved adapter for use with genlocks.

At least thats what I read on a website...somewhere...
