Connect Cinema screen to Studio max M2?

I have Apple Cinema display 30 Model A1083 and want to still use if with the new Apple Studio M2 Max. I currently have it working with the MacPro 6,1 using the Apple mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI adapter. The display I have comes with it's own power block and supports dual USB 2.0 ports, dual Firewire “400” ports and a dual-link DVI port (DVI-D). The M2 has Thunderbolt 4 ports USB 3.1 and 4 and 2 USB-A ports, but am told on the front the USB-C does not support video.

Does any body know if there are any Thunderbolt dual-link display adapters that should work to hook this up?

several USC-C to Dual-link DVI adapters have been introduced in there last five years. Startech and Club3D are among the makers. Costs under US$75.

But it you already paid for the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter, connecting a Mini DisplayPort and a USB is far cheaper.

Monoprice Select Series USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter - Product # 24273 - $9.12

USB-C to USB is also readily available for cheap. You MUST connect the USB-A shaped pigtail on the adapter to POWER, or the Adapter does not function.
