[comp.sys.ibm.pc] dual monitor display on ps/2

msb62@leah.Albany.Edu (M S Baltuch) (07/12/88)

does anyone know of a monochrome display adapter that will work on a micro-
channel architecture ps/2?  i have to port a software package that uses 2
displays - monochrome text, and color graphics at the same time.  ibm (may
1M fleas nest somewhere uncomfortable on whoever came up with this ps/2
grabage :-)) says that the only way to do it is with an 8514a display and 
an 8514a display adapter card, with the whole thing in high-res mode.  this
is supposed to allow the monochrome display hooked to the auxilliary display
output display something other than what is on the color monitor.

the problem with all this is that many of our users don't have, and don't want
to invest in an 8514a adapter and display.  if i can find a monochrome card, 
then i can run the graphics off of the inboard vga and the text via the 
monochrome adapter.  i hope.

thanks,
