I need a VGA DB-15 PCI video card to install in slot #2 of my Yikes! to drive my high resolution monochrome Apple Portrait Monitor (c. 1990) next to my ViewSonic flat screen monitor running from slot #1. Slots #3 and #4 presently run various Firewire and USB peripherals.
Apple's manual accompanying my portrait monitor says it needs a "NuBus expansion card" but my manual "Setting Up Your Power Macintosh G4: Includes ... expansion information...." says "NuBus cards cannot be used in **THESE** expansion slots" where "**THESE**" seems to mean ATA slots only but could also mean all four slots -- depending on careful reading. The Yikes! manual also says Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) ports are not supported but the portrait monitor's manual says the monitor's interface is ADB. What solution, if any, is suggested by all this? Here's what my System Profiler says about my current graphics and display: ATY, Rage 128: Chipset Model: ATY, Rage 128 Type: Display Bus: PCI Slot: J12 VRAM (Total): 16 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x5245 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-57407-204 Display: VA2226w-11: Resolution: 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz Depth: 16-bit Color Core Image: Not Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Here's what my System Profiler says about my SCSI PCI cards: ADPT, 1686806-04: Name: ADPT, 2930CU Type: scsi Bus: PCI Slot: J11 Vendor ID: 0x9004 Device ID: 0x5078 Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x9004 Subsystem ID: 0x7850 Revision ID: 0x0003 The computer end of my portrait monitor's cable is eight pins over seven pins. I used my portrait monitor throughout the period when my only computer was a G3 Beige and then a G3 Blue and White.
