MAC TO VGA MONITOR ADAPTOR on Beige G3

I can't seem to get my Apple Multi Scan 1705 monitor to work with the mac to vga adaptor

The monitor works fine on my ibook, without the adaptor

Is DB15 connection the problem.

I see the monitor cable can be changed, or at least it comes off the back, can this be changed to have a proper DB15 connection at the other end

Could it be the adaptor or the Mac does not support this monitor

Any comments welcome
