    Fyi, this case is a bit different than other Apple issues. For one thing, the ADC port the adapter is for apparently only showed up on the G4/G5 Power Mac and G4 Cube. Secondly, the ADC connector is, on paper, superior to DVI as it can not only carry video (both digital and analog, which normally require different DVI ports), but also audio, USB and power. In reality it didn’t work so well because the couldn’t carry enough power to run a CRT or even the higher-ens cinema displays. This lead to Apple realizing they screwed up and discontinued it in support of an unbundled cable.
