@lordgort

Try this Dutch company: http://kabeltje.com/accell-displayport-naar-dvid-dual-link-adapter-25cm-p-1628.html

I could not find it on Dell Germany, which is sad

Good Luck :)

Not seen that! Look different from my Apple mini-DP adaptor. Will def buy it and sell on the Apple if it works without problems ... the Apple works but most of the time when I go from extended desktop to EF or vice versa I have to unplug the USB power and replug it (often it comes up at 1600x1200 or less res)

it can be a problem of cable. on zalman trimon, pin 15 and 16 on the dvi cable must be inverted.
call this problem with your screen manufacturer and maybe they will send to you a new cable.

That Sapphire adapter looks exactly like the Bizlink/Dell adapter. Though if Sapphire sells it, that could mean more retailers will be able to get their hands on it.

Sapphire make all the 'Built By ATi' cards, last time I checked (which was, admittedly, a while ago... I'm sure Dave or Sunspot will correct me if I'm wrong...) so perhaps this is a sign of AMD making inroads on getting DP->DVI adaptors more available within the world markets?
