A clarification: one of the reviews cited in my earlier message
states that this adapter adds a Macintosh-style 15-pin video out
port, not a VGA port. However, all you'd need to hook up a VGA
projector or monitor would be a low-cost Mac video-to-VGA dongle.
Also, just to emphasize the compatibility issue, Griffin flatly
states that its iPort adapter:
is only compatible with Rev A and Rev B models, 233 Mhz
Bondi Blue iMacs. The iPort is NOT compatible with the
newer Rev C or Rev D, "flavored iMacs."
The Rev. A and B models, with "Bondi Blue" cases and PowerPC G3
CPUs running at 233 MHz, were released in 1998. The Rev. C and D
iMac models -- with "Blueberry," "Strawberry," "Lime," "Tangerine"
and "Grape" case colors and G3 CPUs running at 266 or 333 MHz,
respectively, followed in 1999.
