strange video connector
http://www.coker.com.au/bug/strange.jpg I was just given what I believed to be an ATI video card with DVI output. When I got it home I found that it didn't have a DVI connector, the above picture shows the connector with a DVI cable next to it for perspective. The connector is physically almost the same size as a DVI connector, but it has more and smaller pins. The box claims that the card has DVI-I, HDMI, and VGA. Either the card that was in the box didn't match the description or there was supposed to be an adapter in the box which was lost before I got it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this going? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Hi, I've seen this type of card in Dell and HP systems. The Dell product I think you need is this one: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19 &sku=310-4469 I would recommend searching for this on eBay.

Yep, concur. We had them on nvidia cards on a series of HP machines at work. They came with the adapter that broke out to two dvi connectors that we used to dual head two monitors with.

Ditto. Watch out for that blanked off pin. I've seen some with that blanked off pin and some without. James

Russell I have a spare adapter if you still need one. DMS-59 to dual DVI, otherwise more or less identical to the one depicted in the wikipedia page above. If you're interested you can collect from St Kilda Road during business hours or East Malvern at other times. Cheers, Dave

That would be great thanks! Will you attend the SFD or the next LUV main meeting? If so I could collect it from you at the meeting. Otherwise I'll visit you on St Kilda Rd. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
