I have a new G5 (with ADC and DVI) that should be connected to VGA monitor and to a TV with S-video.

I'm using DVI to VGA little connector (that goes with each G5) to hook up my VGA monitor.

For TV I was thinking to get (ADC to DVI connector cable - $29 at apple site) + (DVI to S-Video connector cable $19 at Apple store)

I was confused by a MacMall tech guy saying that these ADC to DVI connectors, displayed on Apple website and produced by Belkin are for G4 and G4 cubes and he wasn't sure if I can use it for G5. On Apple website it doesn't say also that it fits G5. Well, I would guess that ADC ports are always the same regardless of computer...

Please advise what would be the best way to connect two displays (one is VGA, another is with s-video) to G5 with ADC and DVI ports.
Am I on the right way?

Thank you!

You could pick up a ADC-to-VGA extractor...

there should be one at the Apple Store, and one by Belkin.

:rolleyes: There is no such thing as DVI for the G4 or ADC for the G5. DVI is DVI and ADC is ADC on whichever computer you have the ports.
