From: Judd Rogers <judd%umcp-cs@CSNet-Relay> Thanks! Your note got mangled slightly but I get the thrust of it. We want each monitor to display *different* things though.

From: Computer Club SDC <v.cc2@UCLA-LOCUS> The output from the IBM Monochrome display card is capable of driving up to 10 displays (I have personally done 7 with no problem). All you need to do is get 1 db-9 male connector and as many db-9 female connectors as you need and wire them in parallel. It works just great for board room situations or whatever. The composite drive from the color board is a totally different story. It can drive about 3 monitors (depending on the load of each specific monitor) before it looses enough current so that there is no sync. The solution to this is to get a $12 video distribution amplifer from Radio Shack and put it between the monitors and the color card. It just boosts the current enough to drive at least 10 monitors, probably more. - Howard
