Best you can do is a 9600 XT or Pro . You will need to do a PCB mod to get 1 ADC working. You will then need a DVI to ADC adaptor ($100)

Never has been a dual ADC card.

Set up I just mentioned is only 100% Tiger happy card with dual digital.

Ti 4600 & Radeon 9000 are also ADC & DVI but won't be 100% Tiger cards.

Matrox once made a dual-ADC card. It was released within the first year of when Apple started the ADC stuff.

It had HD power connector(s) on the card, the power requirements to drive two monitors is the main reason why a dual-ADC card is impractical.

As for that dual-ADC Matrox card, you guessed it already. No Mac drivers. It was strictly for Windows users who wanted to use dual Apple monitors without buying a Mac.

It also seems to be no longer available. Couldn't find a hint of it on Matrox's site, and it's been gone long enough that Google search is finding nothing useful. Instead, they're offering a card with a dual-link DVI port to drive the modern Apple 30". You guessed it already, no Mac drivers on this one either.
