I wondered that myself. Probably to minimize the motherboard changes; so they can use one motherboard and just solder a single or dual link chip onto the same traces. > > > A friend of mine has a PowerBook3,5 and that uses an internal TDMS (MacModel > > "powerbook" woks for him).

It's probably different than ibook; I think it works with the default connector table. They use the primary dac for vga as it has separate tv and vga ports. It's probably just like 3,[45] but with VGA instead of DVI.
