Anyway I can make this display to work on Mac Pro?

[Tangerine]

I bought this CRT Apple 17 Studio Display on eBay because I thought it look neat. But when I got it, the connection look very strange and doesn't fit. I check out CompUSA but I don't see any converter. Is there any converter out there that make this display work?

Thanks

can you take a pic of the plug? It's hard to tell if we don't know how it connects.

Yeah it look like this...

Its look like DVI Port but with more pins.

I'm guessing it's ADC? Take a look here http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD

edit: seems there's no way to get the 17" CRT working with a ADC-DVI or ADC-VGA adaptor, I'm afraid.

Would this really work? It's quite expensive. But ah well, look like it's out of stock though.

that display has the ADC plug (Apple Display Connector) that carries power, USB & video signals all through 1 cable.

Apple sold a DVI-ADC adapter for a while, and IIRC, so did a few other companies. But finding one now may take some serious searching 😛

Apple's part number is: M8661LL/A, taken from this page:

HTH!

I picked up one of Apple's converters on my local Craigslist for about $60. It's used to hook a older cinema display to my boyfriend's Powerbook G4. Works like a charm.

A connection!

😀
Google DVIator. DVIator is a special connection so you can use old ADC connection monitors witg a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5

Apple still sells them. see HERE and at $99 plus tax, this should be the most you spend. usually on ebay and craigslist for less.

just guessing your location as US since you listed compusa... best of luck.
