The 1705 Monitor has three rows with 3 pins missing on the monitor end of the cable. The new card has 3 rows. The cable I have has three rows with only 1 pin missing. The one pin missing is in the center row, the mac cable also has 1 pin missing from the center row but has 2 missing in another row. Can I assume that this configuration will work? Thanks, you guys are great, Craig (aka: Grateful)
