Those cheap adapters go from ADC output to DVI monitor, enabling the use of a DVI monitor on an ADC port. DVI output to ADC monitor, is a whole 'nother kettle of horses of a different color. There you're getting into $$$ DVIators and such. This is why ADC monitors are dirt cheap, they're well-nigh useless. (Thank Jobs Apple FINALLY decided to get out of the nonsensical 'making up our own connectors' stuff. They're still on the 'lets use standard connectors that nobody else in the world uses', but that's at least something that can change in time.) -- 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.
