Does anyone know of an adapter that will let me connect a VGA display to an ADC port on a PowerMac?
Before anyone replies with "the cards have both a VGA and an ADC connector", I am thinking of the situation with the new dual-head cards and want to run two CRT displays from the one card.

I've never heard of such a thing. As you are no doubt aware, the ADC is a digital connector. I can't imagine why a manufacturer would want to spend research and engineering talent to design an adaptor to convert a new technology into one that is slowly, and surely, becoming obsolete. VGA monitors are getting dirt cheap now, and such an adaptor would doubtless cost more than another video card.

Yes, there are, and I haven't sold one in almost a year, because that too is a dead technology. Why spend $30 for an adaptor that allows you to use a $20 adb mouse on a usb computer?

I stand corrected. This seems to be a fairly new product. Thanks, residentEvil, for pointing that out.
