Q: Connect PowerMac G5 to iMac via Mini Display

I am trying to connect my old PowerMac G5 to my mid 2011 iMac. There is a dual DVI card in the back, and a small cord connects to DVI and Converts to VGA. So here is my question, can I order a male VGA cable and connect that to an adapter that connects VGA to mini display? Also, how do I display the PowerMac G5 on my iMac?

 

 

Thank you for your help

    No.

    how do I display the PowerMac G5 on my iMac?

    Setting up Screen Sharing & Control, allow the G5 to be used in G5>Sys Prefs>Sharing, then on the iMac>Finder>Connect to Server.
