hi, i aquired a 23 inch cinema display the one with the adc connector. im planning on using this with a powerbook when i get one (waiting for intel macs). My question is, i know i need the adc -dvi adapter, but, even with that, is will it ever be possible to have it working with my imac g4 using vga out?. Until i get a powerbook, i dont have much use for the display, but if i could use it with my imac, it would be great. is it possible without buying a crapload off hardware, i have seen dvi-vga adapters, could i just use one of those with the adc-dvi conversion box?
thanks!
eric
I believe it was determined that most of the dvi-adc converters do not pass the analog signal through to the adc connecter. I think you might be able to find the thread that discussed using one of these with the adc crt displays.
Dr Bott has the VGAtor. It'll convert from vga to adc. Trouble is that it isn't terribly cheap at $299. Anyways, here's the info on it. http://drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0151-VGAT . I've seen these in action, and can vouch for them being usable.
