    I have a presario 2500 laptop with VGA and S-video output only . Im trying to extend to another monitor but the monitor accepts digital only (mdr20). I dont think I can upgrade my video card. Is there ANY way to get the digital monitor to work? maybe a pcmcia adapter or something?
    otherwise, I just gave away money for a flat panel monitor I cant use.

    thanks.

    Hey THANKS. Thats almost the one, but the cable from the the monitor is a
    MDR20 male. so maybe two adapters? Also, doesn't the video card have to support digital output, or will the monitor accept analog?

    thanks again
