Good point Phil, I should have mentioned the DVI-ADC adapter. The G4 AGP
cannot drive an ADC monitor on its own.

The Barefeats web site seems to say that the DVI-to-ADC adapter should work.
See: <www.barefeats.com/sawgraf.html>

Anyone got this combo working?

FWIW (not much re. an ADC monitor), I have a Geforce4 MX in my G4 Sawtooth
and it works great with a big 21" VGA monitor. No ADC monitor to test,
though.
