Quicksilver: Looking for DVI cards to replace my ADC card.
Posted by: LaPorta on 2024-01-25 20:13:05
So I know this is the absolute, total opposite of what I asked previously. However, I want to use a DVI KVM switch so I can use both my QS and G5 with the same monitor/keyboard/mouse as I don't have room for both to be set up. I have ADC to DVI adapters for the Studio displays, so no issue there. However, my QS card has ADC only. I may have some sort of DVI card that I got from somewhere, but I am not sure of the vintage (I can get pics). What card would you guys recommend to place in there? Are there any Mac AGP cards that DVI instead of ADC that work in the QS?

FYI I tried doing this exact thing and my Quicksilver had boot problems. I had DVI&USB -> KVM -> ADC convertor -> Studio display/kbd/mouse

Every time I'd boot the computer, it would just die. Very bizarre.

Check out my older thread: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?thr...down-during-boot-when-connected-to-kvm.44015/

I'm going to see how it behaves with a traditional DVI monitor setup (i.e., not an Apple monitor)
