Right. Then you hook that to the VGAtoNTSC converter I linked to from
sewelldirect.com further down in the messages.

Just so I'm clear on all of this. The DVI to VGA converter is the one that
makes it possible to hook up a PC-style monitor, right? Where do I get the
second converter?

Definitely possible and comes up on this list every now and then. Let me paste
a previous thread (August 2011) here:

I have a DVI to VGA and then a VGA to NTSC converter on my Mini and it always
thinks there is a screen hooked up. Works well and it connects to our old TV so
the kids can watch DVDs on it or whatever. Since NTSC doesn't provide a way to
detect if you're hooked up the Mac always thinks it is. The mini is the hub of
the home theater setup since it outputs fiber optic audio which goes into an AV
receiver. Added an Apple wireless keyboard/mouse for couch use.

Hi Chris,
With this set up of adaptors, can you use the Mini without actually connecting
a monitor for daily, computer use. I am seriously considering buying a new
Mini, and I'd like to be able to do so with the minimum of extras beyond a
keyboard and Magic Trackpad.
Take Care

Right, as far as the Mini knows it is hooked up to a monitor, which happens to
be the VGA to NTSC adapter. I think I paid about $30 for the VGA to NTSC box.
Yup, it was this one:

It does take a USB port for power but my Mini has four so that was fine. I also
already had an HDMI or displayport to VGA adapter from somewhere or other. I
think they only ship with HDMI to DVI these days.
The end result is the mini stops its fruitless search for a monitor that isn't
there so it can move on to more important things like doing your work.

I have heard that there is an article on the Applevis site on how to do this,
but I am having some trouble locating it. Could someone send me a link or
describe how this is done? I desperately need to know if this is possible.
