which you would think would be more likely to be supported even if it's a discontinued model) because it's built to work with their existing architecture. In my case, I'm trying to connect an Apple Display to the M1. Mileage will vary because there are a plethora of adapters out there and a plethora of devices. Because it can be an adapter issue, a software issue (Big Sur), or a hardware limitation (M1 ports or chipset as a whole).īased on the documents Apple has available, a VGA to USB-C adapter should work. While they said the adapter is compatible, I am still waiting to see someone with a similar set up and running first. I reached out to one of the manufacturers' of a Mini DisplayPort to USB-C adapter just the other day. What you can do is contact the manufacturer of said adapter to see if it has been tested on the M1 architecture. So basically, you either have to try it yourself or find evidence of such a setup working on an M1 Mac. While the very same hardware with appropriate adapter has been shown to work on non-M1 Macs, the same hasn't necessarily held true for the M1 Macs. Unfortunately there is a lot of questions regarding legacy devices and the M1 Macs.
