You would need a DVI to Thunderbolt adapter. Does your MBP have a FireWire port on it?

Apple sell a DVI to Mini Display Port (AKA Thunderbolt) adapter. This is the one I use now and it is very good. I have bought a third -party adapter before and it was really bad: loose fit, colored edges artifacts, and finally no video whatsoever. You get what you pay for, as the saying goes..

You need the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter pictured here (or a third-party equivalent).

You need the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter shown below. (There is no third-party equivalent as far as I’m aware.)

Apple no longer sells either of these adapters, but they can be found on sites like eBay and Amazon.
