Apple sold a Mac video to VGA adapter, but they're kinda hard to find. Fleabay, LEM Swaplist. Note you want a VGA TO Mac video to connect a Mac monitor to a VGA output, not the more usual Mac to VGA adapter to let you run a VGA monitor on an old PowerMac. -- 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 subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
