Bill's Bus taking friendly Isla Vistans to downtown Santa Barbara.
The new MacBook Pro’s (and mine) have Mini DisplayPort outputs instead of a standard such as DVI or VGA. My Powerbook had DVI so I was hoping that the Mini DisplayPort to DVI connector would allow me to use my current DVI to VGA connector.
No such luck, one has a – surrounded by four short pins while the other has just the -. I thought about simply removing those pins, except that three of those are the R, G and B channels of the VGA display. Namely three of the five important pins in a VGA display (the others being VSYNC and HSYNC).
After looking into it there are three DVI types, A, D and I. So much for simplicity, looks like I am getting another adapter.
