It is an HDI-45 connection (wiki), and I rummaged through the old bins to start finding adapters. I managed to create a makeshift string (yes, string) of adapters. Basically, it goes like this...and excuse my poor drawing skills.
<clip> Apple made a big deal out of how HDI45 would eliminate so much cable clutter, then only made one monitor that used it, the Apple AudioVision 14. Connected via the HDI45 port routes audio out, microphone in, video and ADB to the monitor. You plug the keyboard into the monitor. Apple originally intended to have video capture via an S-Video port on the monitor, but never implemented it so the AV 14 monitors shipped with a rubber plug in that port. For connecting a normal VGA monitor, you already have an HDI45 to Mac 15 pin adapter. What you need is a normal Mac to VGA adapter like this one to plug onto it. http://www.computercablestore.com/Mac_to_PC_Monitor_Adapter_PID945.aspx There are also cables for connecting the AV 14 monitor to Macs without an HDI45 port. They are known as a "hydra" cable and have speaker, microphone, ADB and Mac monitor connectors. The AudioVision 14 is a nice monitor but a bit small at 14" -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
