Hm... The Dell nVidia Quadro cards I typically see have a DMS-59
connector that can take either a dual VGA output adapter or a dual
DVI output adapter. Is that what you're referring to?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMS-59
It does have one of those connectors (I didn't know the DMS-59 name
before, thanks for that info). It's got a double-headed adapter cable
with two DVI cables. The specs said it only supported digital. As I
said, I haven't tried it. Come to think of it, maybe Dell meant they
only shipped the DMS-59-to-DVI-I adapter cable with it.
I don't know the "name" of the card, as it was ordered separately as
an upgrade to a system with a different card, so we only got quoted a
part number. It is NVidia FX series card; I remember that much.
My workstation is a Dell Precision 490 with a Dell-provided nVidia
Quadro NVS 285 with this connector ...
We've got a bunch of those NVS 285 cards, and they came with both
DMS-59-to-DVI-I and DMS-59-to-DE-15 (VGA) adapter cables. The specs
for that card also say it can only support two digital displays at
once, or two analog displays at once. I'm now wondering if they just
mean the adapter cables there, too. I'll have to try a single
DVI-I-to-DE-15-VGA adapter on one of the DVI-I ends and see what
happens.
