I'm not sure if they still have older Macs, but I remember a shop in Columbus called Macmobile. I had walked by the store in 2001 and there were a ton of old Macs in the window, in…

The Quadra 700 isn't a bad choice if you add an accelerator card. It's the same size as the IIcx/IIci and has the benefit of being able to be used as a minitower or as a desktop (d…

I don't mean standard in the PC industry, I mean standard on Macs. If Apple had stayed with it, they could have added ADC to all of their computers.

Ah yes, …
Not really, everybody else was content with VGA/DVI (infact Apple used VGA and DVI on the Sawtooth's cards)and Apple used then unassigned pins in the AGP slot. If Apple had pushed …
I think it would be best to just buy an airport card for your iMac. I have a relative who installed an airport card after her Ethernet was destroyed from lightning, and it worked j…

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…

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…
well right now id rather have a better video card thena better cpu ( though a dual 800 mhz Qs would be nice)

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…
*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…
