    I believe it may work with my toshiba.

    Edit: I'm going to send an email to see if the people at Bplus Technology tested this adapter with any sound or video cards, if they got it working with at least sound card then I will have to buy it and try it.

    Did nobody see my earlier post? The developer of this product said it won't work if the device already has a VGA out.

    They have 7 engineering samples, and will sell them for $40 + shipping. But please before your inundate them with emails, PM me first, as I already have a dialog going with them.

    doesn't every laptop support VGA out?

    Edit: Isn't there a workaround to this problem?
    Is this the reason it's not for sale yet?

    Why does he say this when it seems as if it's a software problem?

    If you're asking why the next step is to try another type of card, then that's just to troubleshoot the problem with the video card.

    If other cards work with the setup then it means there is a chance to get the video card working.

    ***oops, ignore this post, found my answer....
    It is not our job here to tell people how to run their computer. It is our job here to help people with their problems. They can run it how they want. If you don't want to help, then just don't post. It's our job to help people if we can. If not, spare everyone the smart remarks and the waste of space. It's ridiculous.

    no one doubts that you can connect all the parts. i would still be surprised if you could get it to work. i don't think anyone has successfully done it themselves so far, so you might need to pioneer the field instead of finding links.

    Kudos to your experimenting and breaking new territory Maybe someone with enough technical insight who has a ViDock can give you further insights on how to proceed...
    Disappointed.

    I found two more links to show.

    the first is a mac forum where they talk about the same idea:
    http://powermacmini.wordpress.com/tag/mini-pcie/

    and the next is a blog where the adapter was used and it worked for HDD:
