[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Dual video cards in Compaq 386/25e

I am trying to install a secondary monitor in a compaq 386/25e that
has an existing vga setup.  I have a paradise card that has a
mono/color switch...I don't know what model it is.  

I set the paradise to the color switch and it made the vga behave
like a mono card.  i.e  mode co80 and mode mono switch between the
two.  But this is opposite of what I want.  I have an ega hooked up
to the paradise (it can look like a herc, or cga right?).  When
the paradise is set to mono, the vga gets output but the mono is
garbled.

I don't have docs on the compaq or paradise! Any ideas?
