AWESOME! I even browsed STARTECH's website and missed this. I'll give it a try. Fingers crossed.

I'd love to keep using these, but never really liked the off-color fluorescent-backed LCD, so would prefer to use an LED backed model. of course, my monitor extender is DVI. Is there an adapter to put the mini-plug into a DVI graphics card? There are TONS of adapters to go the other way - to plug a DVI into a mini-monitor plug (or whatever it's called) on a graphics card. Anyone seen one the other way?
