- I know it is possible to install a TTL monochrome card in addition to a VGA
- card and (if the software is capable of addressing two video cards) send
- text to mono card and whatever to the VGA card. However, what you want is
- two VGA monitors each displaying different graphics images from one
- computer. I could be wrong, but my first impression is that this isn't
- possible. Both VGA cards (and two would be required) look to the same
- address for graphic info put there by the CPU.
- What you MIGHT be able to do is run two linked computers, with one being a
- slave to a program on the master.
