With all the chatter on here about multiple displays, I’ve just noticed that MEGAMAC are offering the "OWC Thunderblt 3 Dock (14 Ports)" for £58 off until 2/12. See here:

<https://www.megamac.com/products/owc-thunderbolt-3-dock-14-port-docking-station-with-uk-plug-space-grey-owctb3dk14psgg?_pos=7&_sid=86dd5fd0f&_ss=r?utm_medium=email&utm_content=button&utm_campaign=black_friday_2020&utm_source=Megamac+Newsletter&utm_campaign=0041377024-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_11_26_09_43&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_aafdbd0714-0041377024-301929057&goal=0_aafdbd0714-0041377024-301929057&mc_cid=0041377024&mc_eid=2399a0bf7c>

Hmmm! That was a long link, here’s a shorter version <https://tinyurl.com/y62ewmue>

The reason I bought it was for the Mini DisplayPort monitor connection for my old and reliable Apple LED display.

Disclaimer: I have no connection with MEGAMAC other than as a satisfied customer of said product which is used with my newish MacMini.

Martin,

Sorry for any confusion, MEGAMAC are currently selling it for £231.99 using this code, OWCTBDOCK20OFF which I omitted in my previous message.

Thanks for this. I'm running the previous Apple Display (DVI) amongst others and it looks as if upgrading the displays/buying adaptors is going to be almost as expensive as buying the mac!

Seeing as even the newer (and very expensive) Mac Pros don't have the 'multiple disk' format I bought the original for, and how powerful the M1 chips are, I'm currently waiting to see if the M1 iMac will do what I need (one less external monitor to hook up), and some external enclosures (which seem fairly inevitable).

I have about 7 tb in use at the moment (2 tb is back-ups) so external disks seem likely to be the answer.

It's surprisingly hard to find out about running less powerful monitors - everything is about video-editing on 4k+. When the M1 iMac comes out, I'll spend an afternoon quizzing someone at Apple about what exactly can be hooked up and how...

cheers,
J
