- PROBLEM TIME...
-
- I need to use two SVGA monitors from the same computer. The problem is
- rather than simply displaying identical information, I want to be able to run
- Windows 3.1 on one, and send simple patterns to the other, controlled from a
- program running under Windows. I will be using either a standard or laptop
- 386 PC with coprocessor, 4Meg RAM.
-
- Question 1. Is this possible at all - even using a separate graphics card for
- each monitor?
-
- Question 2. Is there a special graphics card which will allow me to do this?
-
- Question 3. I there any ready-written software to do this, and if so, where
- from?
-
- I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer on this problem,
-
- Mike.
