I have a 17in powerbook which i have connected to a 15in studio display. I really need/want a 3rd monitor. The only thing i could think of that would help me do this would be a PCMCIA video card. the only one i have found is one from Margi (its called the Display-to-go) the problem is, that it doesn work well with os x at all. They even warn of this on the web site. Anyone have any other ideas or solutions as to how i could get a 3rd monitor on this powerbook.

Thanks alot.

I would love to get this for a 3rd monitor but this card does support OS X but has been delayed in shipping 2 months now but it should ship soon

I would say the more realistic solution would be to get a bigger, higher resolution screen.

Not sure, but I believe the Road Rocket is pretty old so chances of OS X compatibility are slim.
