https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface) Apple's Thunderbolt uses the same connectors as MiniDisplayPort and USB-C. Is that going to matter to us? Are there going to be situations in which things can physically connect but not be able to talk to each other? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

Matthew Garrett did battle with Thunderbolt a while ago: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/15948.html # Thunderbolt is, to a first approximation, PCIe tunnelled over a Displayport # connector. It's a high-bandwidth protocol for connecting external devices. # Things are complicated by it also supporting Displayport over the same # connection, which I'm sure will be hilarious when we get yet another # incompatible display protocol. Not sure how long he continued fighting it after that before giving up and going to drink gin... -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
