You're right, ADC wasn't the stupidest choice they ever made. Abandoning it was. If Apple had stayed with ADC and developed a more powerful connector to power their larger CRTs and…

Oh, well this is rather unfortunate. ADC was the stupidest thing apple ever created. I do have a PC 15" monitor that I can use, but the quality on apple displays is far superior. T…
Were can you get old Macs in Ohio? Preferably the Dayton area? I can't find anyplace that sells them, or people who want to get rid of them. :'(
Thanks,

I like the idea of having one of those adapters, but the G3 cost $50 and the display wouldn't be much more. It just doesn't seem right to pay more for an adapter than you do for th…
I always love to know the story behind machines. This may sound weird, but when I get computers off of FreeCycle I ask the person who is giving it away the story of the machine. It…

What kind of SCSI card was available for the G3 Power Mac? I think it was 68 pin, but I don't know whether it is an HD-68 or a VHDCI-68? I want to be sure before I buy an adapter. …

I installed Xubuntu 8.10 on my iMac G3, though this time to take up the entire hard drive. After I finished the lengthy install and rebooted, I got the normal bootstrap+yaboot rout…
I am using a 17-in Apple Studio LCD with an Apple DVI to ADC adapter from an ATi Radeon PCI 7000/32MB (VGA, DVI-I, S-Video) card in a Beige G3 (Rev. C) MT with a Sonnet G4/800MHz/7…
The 650, like the other Quadras, didn't actually come with a monitor, you had to provide one yourself. Typical monitors that were used on it included:

*shrug* I payed $200 canadian for my display that has now dropped in price to around $17x and so long as you have a decently calibrated colour profile it looks really really nice. …

Small+cheap+video+mac says 660AV to me, or 6100/G3/AV

The 660AV is a great choice as is the 6100AV with a G3.
Personally I would love to own either one of t…
Buying an ADC to DVI or RGB adapter isn't the best way to go at this time. I too wanted a non-widescreen LCD to use with older Macs.I also had an Apple 17" LCD studio display but r…

No. The only G4s with ADC(GBE, Cube, DA, QS, MDD) used AGP. And yes, the Sawtooth had AGP but no ADC capability.
Your B&W as well as the G4 PCI graphics (original G4 based…
Hello,
I am buying an old Power Mac G3 to use as a file server for my collection of vintage Macs. I would love to connect a 17 inch Apple Studio Display (Flat Panel), but the Powe…
