Old ADC CTR Display and new Mac Mini Qusetion
I have the last CRT made by Apple with an ADC compatible cable (the one that looks like an alien). I also have an Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter. I want to purchase a new Mac Mini and want to know if I will be able to use the CRT mentioned above with it. Does anybody have any experience with this or a similar setup?
Thanks

Analog output is part of the DVI spec but I'm not sure if the adapter will handle it. The majority of ADC-based displays were digital flat panels.

The monitor should work fine, but you need to have the right adapter.
Apple made both an ADC (computer end) to DVI (monitor end) adapter that came bundled with many Macs as well as a DVI (computer end) to ADC (monitor end) adapter that cost about $100.
As long as you have the latter, so you can plug a DVI cable into the Mac mini, you should be fine.
17" CRT and it sits comfortably at 1280x1024@85Hz for £35 ('ve had it up to 1920x1200@75Hz). The Apple CRT was only 1024x768 and I would have had to buy another adapter.
