Yes, I dug out my old studio/cinema displays and wanted to confirm they
worked but hell if I am unable to find my DVI to ADC adapter/cable.

By chance, would any SVMUG member have a spare to pass along/loan?

TIA!

Do you have a picture or can you name it without using letters only? Or describe its original use?
Have a bunch of old cables laying around.

DVI was the 1.5-inch wide all-in-one video connector. The ends are flat.


ADC was Apple’s version of this. Same size, roughly same pins, but with round ends:

It seems I am looking for the Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter (the
first one).

Circling back, I found one at the Electronics Flea Market. Sadly one of
my studio displays has the backlight failing, but the other seems to be
working fine.

Thanks to all who reached out to help/clarify/offer a loaner even though
we were not able to connect.
