The only thing I could find is a Japanese reference to the monitor where 
they appear to cut the connector off, although chances are that it's a 
proprietory DVI connector/adaptor.

My Japanese is non-existant, but it might be a place to start.  For one 
thing they appear to have the pinout chart, so who knows...
