Re: mac pro edition video cards
Some of the older ATI cards are being re-released with more VRAM; there are ATI 9000 256 MB available now but they are PC only; I don't think anyone has yet converted one to work in a Mac.

I think you can't use it for usb to firewire converting, and I don't suggest to anyone even try that out. Also that purple color could be something else. Basically this is for powering a FW device from a USB port. Charging a FW-only iPod from a USB port is about the only possible use for it. It is NOT a conversion cable.

Printing
Problem several printers available --- all ADB. Computer has Ethernet, USB.

Googling 'Asante Talk', says (I think) that I should be able to use it to get from Ethernet to ADB. So far my efforts have not been successful.

ADC Monitor Question
I have a friend with a 23 Apple Cinema Display, with a curious problem. Apparently the USB controller in the monitor occasionally hiccups and hoses USB on his whole PowerMac. Due to this issue, he's willing to part with it. Now my G5 has a DVI card, but I have the old Nvidia 5200 ADC card handy. So two questions...#1) Is there any way to electronically isolate the USB on the ADC monitor? And #2) how would I go about using an ADC monitor with a DVI (or preferably, VGA - there's a KVM in the picture) connector? I found one adapter to use an ADC monitor with an iBook, but the price was a simply insane $300.
