Michael: I think you might have misunderstood me. My 9600 is also the Mac edition, with DVI and ADC monitor connectors. I was not speaking of the *external* monitor connector, I was speaking of the *internal* connection for ADC on the card, and next to the AGP slot in the motherboard. In a MDD G4 and a G5 they are not physically in the same position - in the G4 the connector on the card hangs out "orphaned", and does not plug into the ADC slot. So I was looking for a workaround for this.
