Thanks, Steve. That's interesting. I was hoping it would just be a matter of cabling, but it seems there's a need for electronics between the two devices. But sadly, the 2011 iMac I have has a Thunderbolt not Mini-Display Port, so solutions you listed won't work with it. :( _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
