Comment on Vintage Mac Community Begs Manufacturers for New Supply of Rare Dongle as Resellers Charge $250

Apple never sold this dongle. Belkin did. The video card typically has two connectors and this allows you to use a second standard monitor, which was not common at the time.

ADC is an Apple proprietary connector and Apple did sell the dongles for $149 & $99 back when.

  I’m fairly certain that Apple’s dongles connect an ADC monitor to a DVI video card. The Belkin connector does the opposite. I’m not positive Apple didn’t make a similar Adapter but i know I paid more like $30 for the Belkin adapter I bought for a PowerMac G4 tower.
