Hi Valerie, this is a known issue, exchange the cable with any other cable which you have in the lab. Some of the cables will only work with PC - I had one of them too. I ordered two Zalman's and one was *bad* but changing the cable from one to the other made it clear that something was wro

I just wanted to point out that since .gif is a compressed image format (and probably uses the same LZW compression as zip?) there is not much point in compressing a gif image. In this case the compressed image is actually larger than the gif. This may be partly because of the mysterious "__MACOS

Alexander, What graphics card were you using in the demo system? From my experience, it seems only the high end card (FX3700 and up) can do this (having the 3-pin stereo connector). This is different from the situation for Windows where a low end card like FX380 works fine. The 3-pin stereo

Alexander, I thought FX3700 would work. Good to hear confirmation from you. It would be nice a Linux driver is available to allow USB based stereo sync. No, not any Quadro card with stereo output will work. The old FX1400 does not work. Even the relatively new FX3500 does not work. The nVi
