Apple g4 monitor to powermac unknown

Hi - I've got a powermac and am trying to connect to up to a monitor I found. The connections are slightly different - is there a way I can link these two up / an adapter I can get?


Images show end of cable build into back of monitor, and back of the other bit

Hello Ediemgh123,


You're welcome! Glad to hear that it is working now.


Almost any USB mouse should work with the Power Mac G4.


The monitor in question appears to have a USB hub as well.

Hi,


That looks like an ADC monitor plug. The two connectors on the computer appear to be DVI and VGA. A DVI to ADC adapter existed (see the article below). However, it may be easier to locate another monitor and connect it to the VGA port of the Power Mac G4. Some TV sets allow VGA connections as well.
