DVI Question

I am trying to identify a DVI connector on a PC I was working on today. I use a KVM with VGA connectors to work on PC's and have to use a DVI-VGA converter sometimes.

The PC that came in had a card with on DVI on it but not DVI-I or DVD-D, as it did not that the the horizontal slot on it but instead had 3 rows of the small connectors with one missing on the bottom.

I'm trying to find a converter for this (to VGA) but cant seem to fine the name for the DVI port.

Any ideas.
 


Checked there. If you look at the DVI drawings they all have the four holes separated by the flat pin section or a combination of both. The one I was working on simply had 3 rows of holes with one missing.

Such as this

Best attempt I could do !

A little googling tells me its a DMS-59 connector. Used on some cards, it provides Dual VGA outputs. It'll need an adapter, although these are picked up cheaply. :)
