Apple's ADC connectors: ADC-to-DVI adapter coming?

CNET staff
ADC-to-DVI adapter? We could not find it mentioned on Belkin's Web site yet, but at least two retailers (Sparco and buy.com) are listing a (currently "back-ordered") Apple Display ADC To Monitor AD ADC 30 M/DVI 24 F F/Apple Cube. It sounds like this may an adapter that lets you connect Apple's older monitors (with DVI connectors) to the new G4s and G4 Cubes (that use the ADC connector). (Thanks, Jack Jackson.) Apple vs. FoxConn connectors Meanwhile, Brooke Gravitt notes a similarity between Apple's ADC connector (used to connect Apple's newest displays to the G4) and the DVI-I connector from FoxConn. [The FoxConn DVI-D receptacle (not surprisingly) resembles Apple's DVI connector (used with Apple's older flat-panel displays).] Update: Art Delano explains: "The reason for the similarity is because FoxConn is a supplier of parts to many computer makers including Apple. If you open any Apple computer case, you will be able to find at least one or two connectors or components branded by FoxConn."
