Introduction  
This guide applies to software version 1.0 and above of the DisplayLink software.  
What is the DisplayLink Mac Driver?  
The DisplayLink Mac driver is designed for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard)  
to enable you to add an additional monitor to your Mac using DisplayLink  
technology. This software allows you to run your DisplayLink-powered USB devices  
on any Intel based desktop or laptop Mac, allowing you to connect up to 4 additional  
monitors via USB.  
Please Note: Power PC-based Macintosh computers, such as late-model iMacs,  
PowerBooks and PowerMacs, are not currently supported.  
What else do I need to use this driver?  
As well as an Intel based Mac running the latest versions of Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5,  
you will need a DisplayLink powered device. One DisplayLink powered device is  
required for each of the additional displays you wish to connect to your Mac.  
A list of available DisplayLink products can be found at: www.displaylink.com/shop

software. It will explain how to obtain and install the latest software, what hardware  
you require and how to conꢀgure your USB connected displays.
