I have a radeon 7000 coming. What kind of adapter do I need to connect
the VGA on the card to the Apple monitor I am currently using?

It depends on which Apple monitor you have. Apple originally used a DA-
15 connector (15 pins in two rows). Later they switched to the same DE-
15 connector that PCs use (15 pins in three rows). More recent monitors
use ADC (Apple Display Connector) and the current monitors now use DVI (
Digital Video Interface).

The monitor I have has the same plug as the 68K color Macs. I would
take that to be the DA-15. It is the plug that was used on 7200 on to
the Beige G3 families, not sure if B&W g3 uses it or not.
