- It's currently impossible because Quickdraw only supports the two IIgs
- Graphics modes. You'd have to rewrite Quickdraw II, QD Aux, and parts
- of other toolsets. You'd also need a video card of some sort.

- Of course, you _can_ hook up two monitors to your GS quite easily, but
- they will both display the same image. You can hook up an RGB and a
- composite monitor (B/W or color) to the same GS since there are two
- video connectors on the back. Not extremely useful, but I've done
- it.
