General/VGA-to-Macintosh Adapters - 29

 

To avoid symptoms, “No video” or “Black Screen” situations do 

not use two VGA-to-Macintosh adapters (one on each end) on the 

video cable that connects a Power Macintosh G3/Macintosh Server 

G3 (Blue and White) to a monitor with a captive VGA connector.

If you need to connect a VGA monitor to the Power Macintosh G3/

Macintosh Server G3 (Blue and White) connect it in one of the 

following ways:
• VGA monitor --> to a VGA cable with VGA connectors on both 

ends --> to the video card on the Power Macintosh G3 
• VGA monitor --> to a mixed cable, a cable that has a VGA 

connector on one end and a Macintosh connector on the other end    

--> to the video card on the Power Macintosh G3.
