Using ASD with new Mac mini

Can I use my 17" Apple Studio Display (LCD purchased in 2004)with a new Mac Mini?

Does HDMI port on a 2010 Mac Mini support the ASD LCD with a male 35 pin connector?

If so, I need an adapter with a female end for the LCD connector and a male end for the female Mac Mini HDMI port. Can't find an adapter with that configuration.

Thanks.

Mac G4, Mac OS X (10.5.6), 17" ASD LCD

You would need a DVI to ADC converter. Apple used to make one (the Apple M8661LL/B DVI to ADC Display Adapter), but have discontinued it so they're getting hard to find. Gefen still makes a DVI to ADC adapter, I believe. You would then need either a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter, or an HDMI to DVI adapter.

A new DVI 17" monitor would probably be not much more expensive than the DVI to ADC converter, which run upwards of $100.

Regards.
