Q: Old DVI to newer Mini-Display adapter?

I have an Apple Studio Display 17" (LCD) 2001 that I would like to use as a second screen for my MacBook Pro 15" (Lion) 2009. Are there any adaptors on the market for DVI ports as old as the one on the display?

Apple Studio Display 17" (LCD) 2001, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

If the display has a normal rectangular DVI conector and a power cord, it will work with a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. If it uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will aso need a DVI to ADC adapter (which includes the power supply).
