The Logic Off Topic list

Has anyone successfully hooked up an Apple digital monitor and an analog one 
on a Mac? I currently have the stock ATI rage128, but was thinking of 
upgrading to an ATI 8500 - but as far as I can tell, its basically impossible to hook 
an apple digital monitor and a vga on either board  -  because the Apple DVI 
converter has a plug which is a little too wide, and there is no way to get the 
jack on the vga outlet without hacking off one of the screws.

Apple Studio 15'' + Apple 750 via DVI>VGA adapter  working absolutely 
fine here on my dual 867 MDD w/NVDA GeForce 4 MX. The connectors sit 
pretty tight together on the rear panel, and you can't unplug the 
digital one without unplugging the adapter first, but no hack was 
needed. Don't know if this is of any help for you though as I've never 
worked with ATI cards and don't know how (if) they work in such a 
setup.

Thanks. I have an apple digital flatscreen and an older viewsonic flatscreen 
vga.

Is the w/NVDA GeForce 4 MX a good card?

Good for my needs. A little bit slow when both monitors are used 
(noticeable only with Logic X). Logic 9/X, Pro Tools, etc.etc. No 
extensive video, games or whatsoever, so I don't push it to extremes.

Best,
