[help] iBook and ACD...

Hola my friends [and enemies].

I am in a bit of a predicament. You see, I am a iBook user. iBook works fine and everything but that isn't the problem.

I want to buy a Apple Cinema Display. One problem: in the requirements on Apples page iBook isn't listed.

Though not listed, there has to be some adapter/hack to make iBook work with ACD.

So for those who have the 2, do they work? If not, is there some adaptor and does it work well?

Thanks for help in advance guys.

WRONG ADAPTOR!!!

The old plastic Cinema Displays use ADC (Apple Display Connector) format.

You need http://www.smalldog.com/product/41077/ss or http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.140/it.A/id.213/.f

The Dr. Bott's ones (on Small Dog or elsewhere) are top notch.
