This is the one I've been looking for... I have had this 6100 for over
a year and haven't run across the HDI-45 adapter for less than $15-$20
shipped. I just bought an Apple 14" AV monitor for $10. Problem
solved. If the monitor ever dies, I'll probably cut the cable off and
solder on my own DA15 (and 1/8" stereo jacks, etc.) Maybe now I can
retire my Quadra 660av or my Quadra 605 to the back room and use my
PB160 for dumping my QuickTake 150 camera...
