It's simple to connect the LCD displays to PBook, but how can I connect 17" PowerBook and CRT 17" Apple Studio Display? Any ideas?

What kind of connectors does the ASD have? If it has VGA or DVI you can connect without any additional adapters (the DVI to VGA adapter comes with the computer). If it is only ADC you will need a DVI to ADC adapter which is around $150 from Apple if I recall correctly.

I think the 17" ASD uses an ADC conneection...I can't be positive tho'. That would mean you would need to buy the $150 DVI to ADC adapter.
Look on the bright side...if you ever want to get an Apple LCD, you already have the adapter!

Sh*t, found this on the web:
-----------------
http://www.barefeats.com/vga2adc.html
It says there:
Let me repeat. If you have one of those beautiful Apple 17" CRT's with the ADC connector, it will not work with a VGA to ADC converter. Nor will it work with any DVI to ADC converter. Gefen says it's Apple's fault and they have no way to kludge it into working.
-----------------
Damn you, Apple! I paid a load of cash for this monitor and now I can't connect it to the new PBook I am planning to buy??? Here's a middle finger to you, Apple!

Um...that's the Gefen's connector. If you get Apple's DVI->ADC connetor, it should work.
