Hey there,
Is there a card that has a coaxial cable output which I could use to mirror my G3's display to a TV I have about 70 feet away (using the existing coaxial cable I have routed through my walls)?

I'm thinking about playing Screen Savers on my big screen when I have people over and the music is playing. Get your Screen Saver-on!

Thanks,
BD

* Or any other way I could convert/display what the screen is showing, since there may not be a card which has a "coaxial out."

ATI has an old PCI card that works well in the G3 with composite video out (RCA jack) that you could convert to coaxial and back at the tv end to plug into a "video in" port on the back. I believe it's one of the XCLAIM cards, and I assume it has OSX support but I haven't tested it (I don't have access to one anymore).
You can buy coax to RCA converters at radioshack.

Looks like an ATI Radeon 7000 Mac Edition plus the addition of an RF Modulator will do the trick.

Thanks!
