Hi,
A friend brought over his ThinkPad with a Port Replicator II (PRII) to see if he could hook it up to my 20" Cinema Display. He loves mine and wants to get one for himself. There is a port on the back of the PRII that takes the ?ADC or DVI which ever it is called, plug. I have a DVI to ADC adapter for the Mac. I have it plugged into a 15" TiBook.
Anyway, when he plugs it in, nothing happens. He can't bring up the monitor at all. We tried shutting everything down and doing a cold reboot, and he couldn't even get the ThinkPad to boot. When we unplugged the Cinema Display and replugged in a standard monitor to the "regular" video plug, everything worked fine. Is it that you just can't mix Apples and oranges??? So to speak<g>??
