Dr. Bott, a manufacturer and distributor of Mac peripherals, is shipping its US$34.95 VGA Extractor for ADC, which allows dual analog displays from the built-in video on Apple’s latest Power Mac G4s.
The video cards on Apple’s new G4s offer 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, according to Eric Prentice, CEO of Dr. Bott.
VGA Extractor also allows the use of our MoniSwitch Pro Dual VGA without the need for an additional video card. It requires no software or drivers and supports any display that is compatible with the built-in VGA port.
VGA Extractor is compatible with the ATI Radeon 7500 (in the Power Mac G4 800) and the Nvidia GeForce 4MX (in the G4 933 and dual 1GHz ,models). It requires Mac OS 9.2.2 or 10.1.2. It’s currently not compatible with the Apple TwinView card in the Power Mac G4 800 dual processor.
