Overview:
Early in 2002 Apple provided a full lineup of Power Mac G4 800, 933 and 1GHz Dual Processor computers, all with dual display capability.
Both the ATI Radeon 7500 and the nVidia GeForce 4MX graphics cards offer an ADC and a VGA port each, both ports being active simultaneously.
The newer ATI Radeon 9000 and nVidia GeForce 4 Titanium cards in later Power Macs offer ADC and DVI ports, again, both are active simultaneously.
This continues in the current Power Mac G5 models, where ATI Radeon 9600 Pro and nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra offer the same ADC and DVI ports.
With these cards an Apple Studio Display and a conventional VGA display (via DVI-VGA adapter on the DVI port, where applicable) can be used at the same time and their image area is combined to a large single desktop.
VGA Extractor allows the use of a second VGA display on the ADC port (in place of the Apple Studio Display). The VGA displays can be identical (nicest case) or different (e.g. small for palettes and large for layout).
VGA Extractor is simply plugged on to the ADC port which yields two identical VGA connectors on the graphics card. No software, no issues.
To share a dual VGA display setup between multiple computers you should look into MoniSwitch DualVGA which allows you to do just that in a very easy and space-saving way.
Compatibility:
VGA Extractor is compatible with the Power Macintosh G4 867 MHz, 933 MHz and Dual 1 GHz with ATI Radeon 7500 and nVidia GeForce 4MX, that have been shipping since early in 2002. These models have the part numbers M8705, M8666 or M8667.
The later Power Macintosh G4 with dual processors with 867 MHz, 1.2 GHz and 1.25 GHz (M9145, M8787, M8689 and M8573) are also compatible. Both the ATI Radeon 9000 and the nVidia GeForce 4 Titanium ADC + DVI graphics cards that shipped in these computers work with VGA Extractor.
The Power Mac G4 models equipped with FireWire 800 - M8839 (1 GHz), M8840 (1.25 GHz) and M8841 (1.42 GHz) also shipped with ATI Radeon 9000 Pro or nVidia GeForce 4MX cards, again all of these work well with VGAtor.
Last but not least the Power Macintosh G5 with 1.6 GHz, 1.8 GHz and 2x2 GHz with nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra and ATI Radeon 9600 Pro are fully compatible, too (M9020, M9031, M9032).
VGA Extractor is also compatible with the original Apple TwinView card that shipped in Power Mac G4 800 DP (model M8361) computers.
VGA Extractor is compatible with all VGA displays that work with the second, direct VGA port, be they CRT or flat panel displays (so far we do not know of any VGA display that would not work).
VGA Extractor has been tested using Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.1.2 - 10.3 - these are the operating systems that ship with the compatible Power Macs.
