- Hi,
-
- So long as I'm `stuck' with this 386i on my desk I thought it might
- be nice to improve it some. The obvious possibility is to get another
- frame buffer & monitor and make it dual headed. This is/was fairly
- easy on other Sun hardware (3's and 4's) so how hard is it on 386i's?
-
- BTW.. This machine is `fast enough' as just a display device. I run
- very few local processes. The only ones of significance are
-
- X11R5 Xsun
- mwm
- epoch
- auto mounter & NFS
-
- Everthing else (xterm's, clock, calendar, mail programs, ups, etc) are
- run elsewhere and they run reasonably fast.
