Is there a way to use a mid-2007 24" iMac as an external monitor for a mid-2012 11" MacBook Air?
MacTracker lists the iMac's "display" connections as:
1 - Mini-DVI (DVI, VGA, Composite and S-video with adapter)
and the Air's "display" connections as:
Thunderbolt digital video output
What cable(s) would I need to do this--if it's possible at all?
(iMac is running Snow Leopard; Air is running El Capitan -- if that matters.)
Thanks.
All the adapters won't help. The video port is "Video Out." Without internal firmware all the adapters in the world won't turn it into "Video In."

That old model does not support target display mode. 2009 and later iMacs.
Yes, I know re no target mode before 2009. (I should have mentioned that).
I understand that (if it's possible), using the 24" iMac as an external monitor may well require a couple of strung-together adapters (or something equally complicated).
