Using 2 monitors with FS9

Hello Don. I found a sub-D/DVI adaptor on Ebay for $1.95. From the
picture it looks like what I want. Its DVI connector plugs into the
DVI slot of the ATI Radeon card and the female end accepts the sub-D
connector from the cable coming from the monitor. I don't understand
how that would work, however, since the monitor accepts ANALOG and the
DVI output of the ATI card I thought was digital. I must be missing
something.

BTW, the monitor came yesterday and boy did it come in a BIG box. It
was delievered by 2 UPS guys!

When I took it out of the box, it didn't look too good. The monitor
glass had all kinds of condensation on it after being brought into the
house. The outside temp was about 10 degress yesterday. After warming
up the display and deguassing it, it looked much better.

Thanks Don for your quick response. The new 22" monitor is an IBM
ThinkVision C220P which I thought was digital but I just checked and
see that it is DVI-A so I guess this all goes out the window. Rats!

A digital/ana converter is dirt cheap, just a little guy that goes in
between the plug & socket. I only paid $9 extra to Dell when I got my XPS
system almost two years ago, so I could use my Sony 19" and old Mag 15" (put
it on the digital out w/adapter) CRT's.... Your new IBM 22" and a 19"
secondary would be dy-no-mite!! Do it!! You won't look back...............
