Unlike the old style Mac only monitors, which used the old > Apple 9 (?) pin cable. My Dual G4-867 has whatever ATI 9xxx upgrade option Apple offered. One DVI port for one display, and one "ADC" port for another. The Apple 17" Studio Display requires the ADC, Apple Display Connector, which includes power, USB, video, everything. Is the ADC of which I speak, not DVI. Original Macintosh color CRTs used a plain DB15 connector rather than the "lets invent something new" high density 3-row 15 pin connector introduced for VGA. Otherwise there was very little difference. One used 0.6 volts drive, the other 0.7. Later VESA (?) enhanced VGA standards with a means of identifying a monitor's capabilities over the interface cable. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
