My powerbook5,2 definately uses an external tdms for single-link DVI.. A friend
of mine has a PowerBook3,5 and that uses an internal TDMS (MacModel "powerbook"
woks for him). So i'm pretty sure that all PowerBook5,X models have an external
tdms (either single or dual link). And PowerBook3,4 and PowerBook3,5 models
have an internal tdms (Older powerbooks didn't have dvi out at all).

See http://www.theapplemuseum.com/index.php for a list of all models. The info
about the 5,6 having optional dual-link comes from
