Need help identifying an iBook...

Yes, you need a mini-VGA adapter. Officially a "VGA Display Adapter." One in the middle in photo here:

At Apple store and elsewhere new, probably much less used or eBay.

I am pretty sure all the G3 iBooks came with one. If you know anyone with an old G3 iBook they probably have one in a drawer somewhere.

But as mentioned above, it won't work if the video chip is down.

Good luck.
