Hi All,
I am about to start in on several vintage Mac projects and one of those is my IIsi. I had it using a generic 15" LCD display with a VGA adapter. This setup worked fine on both native video as well as video card I could run out of the PDS slot (I think it is a Video Spigot). In my collection exists a 15" Apple Cinema Display that uses the proprietary ADC connection. On eBay are several Apple DVI to ADC adapters...I'd need one of those to start. That would get power to the monitor and the video signal to DVI. I then need to get that signal to the IIsi. There are DVI to VGA adapters and I have VGA adaptor on my IIsi which I think is VGA to DA-15 (see towards the bottom under "Connectors...Original DA-15 -- commonly but incorrectly known as a DB-15 -- used on all desktop Macs without a built in monitor up until the 1999...").
Questions:
1. Does a DVI to DA-15 adapter exist? There seem to be plenty of DVI to DB-15 however I'd like to avoid 3 adaptors in a row...
2. Has anyone been successful in getting an ADC monitor working on an IIsi or similar?
THx!
