Mimo 710 on Mac Mini
in [UK Mac]

From: Ian Piper on 4 Sep 2009 07:30 Hi all, Don't know if any of you have looked at these things, but I have just installed a Mimo 710 USB display on my Mac Mini. I have been using this as a headless server for a while via Screen Sharing, but had a few problems with this setup. I thought a mini monitor would be a good solution, and so it seems to be. The Mimo 710 fits nicely on the top of the Mac Mini and the display is surprisingly readable. Anyway, for the record, in case anyone is interested in this, these USB monitors work fine as the only display on a Mac Mini. Just install the DisplayLink driver, reboot and then plug in the display. Ian.

If it were 1024x640 I'd be much more tempted! I rather fancy the touchscreen ones too... even more expensive, and the Mac touchscreen driver for them is another $30.
