[Ti] VGA to DVI

[Erik Gaderlund]

What connector does it have?  The newer ones need ADC (video signal, 
USB and power), so you'll need a VGA to ADC converter 
(http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1301), to DVI you'll 
need a different connector 
(http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1435).  You need to 
remember that VGA is analog and DVI/ADC are digital connection (ok, 
DVI-I also has the analog signal so going to VGA works, like on the 
newer PowerBooks), so going back and forth between DVI and ADC is 
relatively simple, but, back and forth to VGA you need a converter 
which gets very expensive to get one that does a good job with the 
display.

The easiest is if you have a DVI connector, so the Margi is a step 
and it's much more compact (no AC wall wart and converter box), but, 
if it's and ADC you would then also need a DVI->ADC connector (Dr 
Bott's DVIator (http://drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=0111-DVAD), 
Gefen's one, or Apple's.

I also got one recently, but, rather than a DVI which is what they 
said, it's an ADC--works fine with my TiBook's DVI, but, no go with 
the Radeon Mac card in my 9600!!
