10. Mac OS User Guide
This guide applies to Mac software version 1.0 and higher.
What Is the Mac driver?
The Mac driver is designed for MAC OS 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to enable you to
add an additional display to your Mac using DisplayLink technology. This software enables you to run your
adapters on any Intel-based desktop or laptop Mac, allowing you to connect up to 4 additional displays via USB.
Important note: PowerPC-based Macintosh computers such as late model iMacs, PowerBooks and Power Macs
are currently not supported.
What Else Do I Need to Use This Driver?
Apart from an Intel-based Mac running the latest versions of Mac OS 10.4, 10.5, or 10.6, you will need an
adapter. One adapter is required for each additional display that you wish to connect to your Mac.
