[LAU] monitor shot, cables

[Thomas Vecchione]

Yes and no.  DVI-I connectors actually carry BOTH the Digital and Analog VGA
signal.  That dongle removes the VGA signal from the cable and changes the
connector to match a VGA port.  It does not convert betweent he two.  The
main thing to look for to see if you can do this is the 4 pins around the
flat bar'ish looking thing.  A straight DVI connector with only a digital
signal will not have these, while a DVI-I connection will and will carry the
analog signal on those 4 pins.

However if all you have is a digital signal, you will have to convert, which
as already pointed out is a bit on the expensive side.
