[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Need device driver for a second monitor.

Finding myself the owner of two monitors now, I'm looking for things to
do with the spare one.  It seems to me that it should be easy to make a 
device driver (CON2 ?) which writes directly to the video memory of the
inactive display, so that one could have a program with one set of output
on the real display and another set (say, debugging info) redirected to
the alternate. Only the real CON device would read the keyboard.
A quick scan of the simtel directory didn't suggest anything obvious.  
Does anyone know of such a beast ?  If not I might try hacking on
nansi.sys.

Thanks.
