RT display adapters have dedicated addresses on the I/O bus, so you can't
have more than one of each kind (you could probably cut some traces on the
board to change the address, but I'm not about to recommend that). Also,
the X server and kernel assume no more than one of each type of display
adapter.
The RT does work well with multiple adapters of different types (at one time,
I had a megapel, apa16, aed, and monochrome display on my RT).
