I want to buy a long (5m) DVI to VGA cable for a projector (anyone know where in the UK?) and I've discovered there are several different types of DVI socket, there is no distinction in the manual as to what it is I, D, or A.

Any help much appreciated.

The PowerBook has DVI-I, as you can get a DVI-to-VGA adapter for it from Apple.
Just a little explanation for those who don't know:
DVI-I: digital and analog signals, can use a DVI-to-VGA adapter for analog video out
DVI-D: digital signals only, no VGA possible
DVI-A: high-res analog signals only, better quality than VGA, used often for HDTV.

Great thanks very much !

I was hoping to find a 5 metre DVI to VGA cable, but it looks like I'll have to use the adaptor and get a 5 metre VGA cable - I guess one more connection won't make much difference!

thanks again
