I'm one who has that combination VGA + Mono adapter. And I don't see a big
difference between using Echomon and not using it. If you use either display
the other one stops to be updated. Borlands dual-monitor support however (I
think you mean Turbo Debugger) works. It's getting confused with the mouse
pointer but everything else works fine. Amazingly even without installing
OS/2's mono drivers.
