The only problem with the ATI adapter is that it
only works on ATI video cards (according to ATI),
and MStein is using an Nvidia card.

So the options are to buy an ATI card and an
adapter, or buy an RCA VGA-to-HDTV converter.
Several months ago, someone posted in this
newsgroup that it worked very well.
