- Nope. There can be only one View running at a time.

- Seeing as the A2024 connects to the only RGB port, then this is not possible.
- However, if you are using an A3000, then you can plug a VGA or Multisync monitor
- into the 31kHz(VGA) connector. This would give you the same display on both
- monitors simultaneously, so you could use the A2024 for your main work, and the
- second display for your colour work. But you can't get two different displays at
- the same time. ie you can't have your A2024 workbench on the A2024 AND DPaint on
- the Multisync at the same time.
