Do you have a dual display working on a 486 under
windows ?

I can get a Herc card and mono monitor working in my 486
together with main VGA display card and monitor. Turbo
Debugger uses it fine... BUT the whole windows environment
is slowed down (screen updates) when the herc card is
in place, also problems with the hard disk controller..

I've got  DualDisplay=1 in my system.ini..and the herc card
is a recent model.  The machine isn't slowed down in normal
DOS mode.. 

SO what do I need to do to get the second display working
on the 486 ?  I've been through all available windows and
Turbo C docs.. but the only setting I could find was
the "dualdisplay=1" - make no difference..

The vga card is a ET4000 is 1Mg RAM.. Machine is 33Mz TP
486

Thanks
Cameron.
