not quite like this

not quite like this

Hullo, Hive-mind.

I seek a glorious alignment between an super-duper lovely ancient Macintosh monitor, and my modern PC. The stars tell me this can be done, with a weeny little adapter that looks almost entirely like this, but not quite. (I snarfed the pic off the internets, but it’s not quite the right one.)

Here’s a pic of my monitor’s cable. This is the end that plugs into one side of the mystical adapter that I can’t find to show you. (The other end of the adapter would plug into a standard vga monitor pluggy thing on the back of a PC onboard or PCI video card.)

I hear that quite a few years ago, the little adapters came with Mac G4s as a matter of course. I hear there somewhere, there are geeks who have drawerfuls of them. I seek the unicorn. Do you have one? Can trade, purchase, or simply go into transports of joy at the receipt of such a thing.

    Elaine,
    I have a wonderful friend, who was once a professor of mine who is knowledgable in all things Apple/Mac, from old desktops to the latest terabyte storage drives. Let me show her this entry, and the pictures and I’ll see if we can do anything from our end here. Best wishes to you and love the website!
