CONNECTING MACBOOK PRO TO INFOCUS LP70 PROJECTOR

InFocus advised me to use a M1 to DVI connector to connect their LP70 to my MACBook Pro but the MAC doesn't have the right connection for this cable. I have been in touch with InFocus again but they haven't replied. Anyone any ideas what cable I could/should use?
Thanks in advance fo any help you can offer

MACBook Pro Laptop, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

The tech specs for the LP70 say: Analog video signal - RGB, Composite video, S-Video

So, I think you're going to need to use the minidisplay port to DVI adapter (one came with your MacBook Pro) then a [DVI to S-Video Adapter|http://store.apple.com/au/product/M9267G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA2Nw&mco=MTA4NDg xMjA] or some similar combination ...

You'll need a mini-displayport-to-VGA adapter and a converter box similar to this:

Michael
Many thanks. There were no cables with my (UK) MacBook Pro apart from the power ones. However, I will attempt to obtain the ones you suggest and see if they solve my problem.

Many thanks for this. I will see whether I can get this in the UK but will probably try Michaels' solution first.

I suspect Michael's solution won't work, but do let us know if you try it.
