Why is this taking so long??

The 1.8 driver was released on 2 Jul 2012. Its 25 of september now. Its almost been 3 MONTHS since I used my DisplayLink screens. As a programmer I can honestly say this is starting to cost me time and money. We need a new driver or at least a beta.

Missing Mac drivers for the 3xxx series is the only thing that held me back to buy an adapter.

USB3 is a major step forward for DL on a Mac.

Don't worry, only AT LEAST another three months to wait

This is what our current schedule is showing. Of course, if we can, we would love to give you with something sooner...

That is a terrible schedule, I would say that this should be moved up to today, at the latest. Your competitor J5Create has already released a beta that works:

The manufacturer of our device is looking at switching to the chips they use in the future because of the lack of support on from Displaylink on this.

I think I can safely say that we would all be willing to accept a beta at this point just to be able to easily reboot our computers. I am only referring to version 1.8.1. The USB 3.0 support can wait, although your competitor has that working already as well.

Hey Wim,

Just wanted to say thanks for the update and breaking the silence!

Looking forward to hearing more about it.
