Thanks for sharing it: >>The iMac used as a display must have macOS High Sierra or earlier < https://support.apple.com/kb/HT201260> installed. The other Mac that you're connecting it to must have been introduced in 2019 or earlier and have macOS Catalina or earlier installed.<< Too bad because I could use the space saved by a mini but I don't want to abandon 27" worth of monitor. I think I'll just wait until the 27" iMacs with an M1 chip are released and then figure out what to do with my existing elderly version which is sounding more and more like a boat anchor. As I continue to age I believe I know exactly how it feels. Thanks also to all who responded. The LUG continues to be a valuable resource! I've made a similar inquiry on Apple forums and the responses are all over the map. --Bob On Tue, Nov 16, 2021 at 7:42 AM Howard L Ritter Jr via LUG < lug at leica-users.org> wrote: > Unfortunately, the answer is No. I had hoped to do the same with my 5K > Retina 27? iMac when I got my new 14?
