First-- By CRT do you REALLY mean VGA?

Second-- What exactly is DVI? Is it anything like S-video, or is it more like PAL/NTSC.

You may be able to find a schematic for what you are looking for here, but you had better be pretty handy with a soldiering Iron. I am making several things for my Truck Computer from this website. I like it, and recommend it as a cheap alternative to spending upwards of $100 for a convertor. But this may not apply to you.

Good Luck.

Ha ha. ATI is hacked-out stupid.

DVI --> Digital Video Interface (i.e. a cable/connector/data transfer standard)
CRT --> Cathode Ray Tube (i.e. a box that shoots electrons at a screen, a TV or monitor)

Yeah. What ATI REALLY means is a DVI/VGA connector, or a DVI/D-Sub connector. After all, even most flat-panel monitors can still use a VGA cable, but I guarantee many consumer CRTs (i.e. TVs?) don't use VGA.

Shadowcat--DVI would be more akin to S-Video than it would be to NTSC. I don't quite know what the standard's all about--but apparently it's digital. When I get bored I'll Google up some info about the standard.

But anyway... yeah, anyone got one?

I do.
Cut-'n-paste from a post of mine a few months ago:
Castorite wrote:
Brand is a Wieson. Website/Product Info. Unlike the pictures, it has a transparent plastic case. Bought it a while back, but don't need it anymore. Asking $10, but flexible. All proceeds go towards beer money for a fellow UMR student instead of off to Whereverthehell, California. As a bonus, you won't have to wait the 3-4 days for shipping.
Or pay for shipping, for that matter.

E-mail me or PM me your contact info if interested.
