In the systems that I use (ColorGraphics adapters), my video driver just pulls a standard programming manuever ... it lies to Windows and tells Windows that it is a 2048x768 video card. So Windows just thinks it's a big wide display and writes to the whole video RAM space. The card's hardware splits this into two video outputs on the card. Can it be configured so that I can either stack the monitors one on top of the other or side-by-side?

I get 2048x2048 virtual resolultion on a 21 inch monitor. This is an economical approach to a larger screen. You only need one monitor and one card yet you achieve the equivalent of 2048x2048 resolution. I use the system on three computers and find it very useful for multitasking. It works in Win 95. I think they may have developed support for Win NT.
