ADC to VGA ?

Hi,

I have finally got my dual 1ghz G4 with the GeForce4 MX card, capable of dual display. But...I do not use apple monitors, is there any adapter to convert from the ADC connector to either regular VGA or DVI?

Many thanks,

You have to buy a Dr. Botts DVIator

Your machine should have two video connections, and regular and DVI, so one monitor only needs the DVIator. Its about $200 and I would recommend just going out and getting a Apple Display if you can, unless you have 2 LCD lying around. The DVIator is more than just a plug in converter, its got a transformer and a few more wires than you'd probably like.

Good luck

Er...maybe I didn't paint a good enough picture. OK here's my setup:

Dual 1Ghz G4 with GeForce4 MX Video - 1 x Regular VGA & 1 x ADC (NOT DVI)
I have 2 x NEC LCD 1810X (18" Flatscreens) that have both VGA and DVI inputs.
At the moment I have 1 x 1810X on the regular VGA port of the GeForce4, I want to be able to have the other on the ADC port for dual screens, but, I can't since the 1810X's don't have ADC (obviestly ).
My question is: Is there some sort of adapter to turn the ADC into either regular VGA or DVI?
(NOT an adapter to turn the VGA to ADC which is what the DVIator does)

Many thanks again,

Sorry dukestreet, maybe I'm loosing the plot. But from what I am reading on the site the DVIator converts a DVI port on older video cards to ADC so that the DVI can be hocked up to a apple ADC display, right?
What I am after is something to turn the ADC on the video card of the new PowerMacs into regular VGA or DVI.

If I'm totally loosing it please let me know...I might be...

Many thanks,

Ah!!

It was my impression that it would work both ways. Check with them and see and let me know.

Sorry for the confusion.

I can't see how it would work both ways because of the male / female connectors involved.
Does anyone else have any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks,

dukestreet had the right vendor, but the wrong product. Check out the DVI extractor:

Dr Bott pretty much has you covered for _any_ peripheral device...

You the man! Thank you sooooooo much!
That's just what I was after.

Thanks everyone!

I have just ordered my VGA Extractor, for anyone in the UK interested they can be got from dabs.com As can the DVI Extractor and so on.

Cheers again,

Jamie.
