I have some IOGEAR USB-DVI I purchased back when on Tiger 10.4! Plus several Startech, and some Kensington. They all have the Displaylink chipsets.

I added a review for my Startech units. But when I went to add one for my IOGEAR, it said "one already existed". I looked. It was a review from 10.4 and 5 stars. It had a update for Lion 10.6, Updated in December 2010 I believe, stating it works great through Tiger 10.4, Leopard 10.5, Snow Leopard 10.6, Lion 10.7. Well I updated the updated update, and note that for Mountain Lion 10.8, v1.8 is a disaster and unusable.

I noticed there are many others under every USB to DVI device on Amazon.com, and Newegg.com with 1 star. So I have reviewed all my owned devices, and that is what I love about Amazon, it notes that I am an actual purchaser.

I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE people to write reviews on Amazon.com. I fyou own the device, you can write it there. If you bought it from Amazon.com, even better.

There is a glimmering light:

Today I purchased a Mac Mini. It comes with a HDMI out and a THunderbolt port. Apple sells a HDMI to dVI cable, and of course the thunderbolt has a DVI. Native support for 2 displays with no USB 2.0 limitations. Word has it HDMI outputs coming next on Mac Book Pro's. RUmor, but Apple rumors are becoming more tangible.

I also know of a Canadian product OEM that makes many intelligent memory and laptop devices that is creating a Dual DVI from THunderbolt device. Not all that difficult to do since Thunderbolt is a dual channel technology, but takes some engineering. (Yes, being a PE & EE has it's advantages when it comes to assessing technology as I do for Wall Street every day.... Equity analysts are not all that technical.. they need technical engineers to tell them when products are sound, and which companies are leaders and aspiring, and plain poor.). Simple fact is if displaylink has 100% of it's revenues prior to OS X 10.8, and it can not support 10.8 OS X, which is some X% of category revenue, this will show up on the next income statement as a upcoming revenue reduction. Analysts need to know this information and they appreciate it.
