ATI's HDTV component adapter on a 9100 Pro?

Is there any chance of ATI's DVI-to-component HDTV adapter working properly
on a 9100 Pro? ATI's Web site only lists support for the 8500, 9500, 9600,
9700, and 9800 series; but is the omission of the 9100 due to a real
hardware limitation, or simply a lack of interest in supporting a slightly
older card? My 9100 Pro *does* have a DVI output jack.

Your card is just a rebranded 8500 so I would presume so.

Thank you for the hint! Given your hint, a Google search tells me that a
9100 is apparently an 8500 with a slightly improved BIOS:

I was finally able to get the 9100 to output to the HDTV directly through a
DVI cable; but the best resolution I could attain was 1816x520.
