Does it look like this? <http://tinyurl.com/yfycvok> That looks like a normal DVI interface to me. It's strictly digital; it's lacking the pins around the wide pin for the analog lines; if your existing DVI monitor cable has them, you may need to get a new cable. If the adapter doesn't look like that, then you've been getting the wrong part all along... I'd reccomend Monoprice <http://www.monoprice.com> they've got the best deals on cabling (and other AV accessories!) going. (Related, but OT: If you get a shiny new LCD TV this season, don't pay Best Buy prices for HDMI cables or Wall Mounts, go to Monoprice. The mount that Costco wanted to sell me for $89 cost me $29 at Monoprice. A 6' HDMI cable is about $6-7.) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
