all you need is a vga to apple 15 pin connector, they're widely available and usually cheap, assuming it doesn't come with one. you should also be able to use the dvi>>vga adapter and then a vga>>old mac adapter, but i don't think a dvi>>vga adapter is included, but i could certainly be wrong. if they aren't included try either of the following: < http://www.drbott.com/index.html> <http://www.griffintechnology.com/> i've dealt with griffin tech and they're great, drbott comes highly recommended by others but i haven't personally dealt with them, but i know they make a dvi>>vga adapter.
