Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have an iMac G5 with a dead display. I would like to connect a second display to retrieve files using PowerPC applications before upgrading to a new Intel based iMac. I have a DVI to ADC Adapter, but none of the adapters I have for connecting it to an output will connect to the output port on the iMac G5 20" (EMC No. 2056).
Power Mac G5, Mac OS X (10.5.1), and 4 other Macs
I believe it's this one
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_g5_2.0_20.html
which says it has VGA output. So it will not work with DVI adapters, but it will work with a DVI display if it also has VGA input.
It port is actually a "mini-VGA" port, accordting to this

so you need a mini-VGA to VGA adapter. Couldn't find that part at the online Apple Store, but it seems to listed at Amazon

What adapter is need to connect a iMac G5 20" (EMC No. 2056) to a DVI adapter for a second monitor?
