Doesn't work macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 or 11.4 with 30 inch cinema display

This adapter doesn't work for me with two computers running Big Sur. OS versions. It must be Big Sur's fault. I know the monitor and display adapter work fine because I've used them for years with my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) running 10.13.6. MONITOR: Cinema Display (30" DVI Late 2005 (M9179LL/A). DVI-to-MDP: Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI Adapter (Model A1306) updated on iMac (Retina 5K, 27" 2020) with Big Sur 11.4 . See photo for an example of an unusable video display. Also tried on MacBook Pro 13" 2017, four Thunderbolt 3 ports. Same result. Sometimes Cinema Display is missed. Sometimes the power light would turn on and then turn off again (and switched on.) CABLES: + MDP and USB display cables connected to a dual-link DVI adapter + DVI adapter MDP cable connected to the Amiroko adapter (this product) that connects to the iMac USB C+ port DVI adapter USB cable connected to:++ (iMac) USB Type-A port++ (iMac) USB Type-A port on an external USB hub (connected to iMac Type-A A port) USB-C adapter to USB-C++ port (MacBook Pro) than above because it doesn't have Type-A ports

Pros
  • Warm note
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
