You might try a search on Belkin, they make a lot of
different gender changers and adapters. You might also
contact ATI or NVIDIA (who ever made your new video card)
and ask their help.

| Cheers Nathan-
| I had a translator contact Fujitsu Japan, and they were
less than helpful.

the translator is

pin slots and there
| are 28 in the center, 2 on the sides. The link below has
only 20 pins in the
| center, so I'll try a search for a "30 pin type" DFP?
