Dr. Bott ships ”VGA Extractor for ADC” which allows dual analog displays

The video cards on Apple’s new G4s offer both an ADC and a VGA port each capable of driving a separate display. Dr. Bott’s VGA Extractor for ADC allows the ADC port on these cards to drive a standard analog display.

“We’ve had resellers begging for this solution for months, we’re excited that the latest round of updates from Apple include support for this functionality.” said Eric Prentice, CEO of Dr. Bott LLC. “VGA Extractor also allows the use of our MoniSwitch Pro Dual VGA without the need for an additional video card.”

ADC Extractor for VGA requires no software or drivers and supports any display that is compatible with the built-in VGA port.

Compatibility:
VGA Extractor is compatible with the ATI Radeon 7500 (G4 800) and the nVidia GeForce 4MX (G4 933/1GHz) and requires Mac OS 9.2.2 or 10.1.2/3. It is currently incompatible with the Apple TwinView card in the Power Mac G4 800 DP.

Pricing & Availability:
VGA extractor for ADC retails for $34.95 and is available immediately.
