Hi
How do I get two monitors attached to my macbook pro? yes I could attach 1 and use my laptop screen but I want 2 x 23 inches that I have (lucky i know!) to run off the macbook pro and be able to arrange them so the are not mirrored but showing different stuff. They are currently attached to a g5 tower (since died) that has two connectors but the mbook has only one. I have looked at splitter cables but my impression is that these will only duplicate the same image on each monitor (mirrored) Any ideas Ade |

I love a challenge when it comes to researching but, this one is tough! There is an adapter out there that turns your Express Card slot into a PCMCIA slot- http://duel-systems.rushorder.com/?productid=DP-0001[/url] MAC OS X 10.4.8 -10.5 compatible But when you try to find a PCMCIA card that supports 2 external monitors and then go to the Duel Systems DuelAdapter compatibilty page- http://duel-systems.rushorder.com/support/matrix.cfm I can't find a PCMCIA card in their[u] list that serves that purpose? The FAQ's page simply states that if the PCMCIA card is compatible with the (above) OS X, "it will probably work"? I submitted an email to them with your question. If you go to their web sight to the "product Support" page, there's a toll free number where you could call and ask your questions. And for the PCMCIA card, check this out- http://www.villagetronic.com/vtbook/index.html Good luck and let us know?
