Well i have just recieved a computer to have a look at and i cannot do anything because i dont have a connection for its graphics card.

Its an old IBM that has a 64MB NVIDIA Quadro4 200NVS VGA or DVI-I Dual Head graphics card, and its not connection i have seen before! Anyone know how on earth i can use it?

you need to find something like an LFH to (dual?) VGA cable.

Check it's right, but they seem pretty cheap on eBay

That was a common thing on workstation based cards, and a royal pain in the backside. I was glad when the various adopters finally wised up and started to stick two discreet connectors on instead.

Yep , you get them on Dells quite often.

Cables are nice and cheap though which is good as they always get lost

That's correct - That's some serious dust issue you have sir

Pretty sure I'll have one of those cables, as I still have a few workstations around at work with that card

With the 200NVS you get a proprietary>twin VGA cable...

PM if you want me to have a look...

I thought DVI was quite common these days?

Its not DVI its something called LFH whatever that is!

No idea what this thread is on about, but this made me LOL!

plenty more where that came from Funny gifs, captioned images, and other random images for posting in forum threads - Threadbombing :P

Dont think its that, the pic posted earlier shows all 60 pins. DMS-59 has one of them blocked out.

The adaptor for the 200NVS also doesn't provide DVI outputs.
