I figure I might as well ask before I try doing this.... 

I have a desktop E-APC/RT (model 130) with a 310 meg disk(H310).  I am
wondering if I can I "transplant" everything I have in the desktop unit
to a "tower" model RT?  If it matters, the serial numbers on the tower
RTs that I have are 354 and 554 or so. 

If this is possible to do, anyone know if the (AOS) X11R5 server
supports a two headed RT (two apa16s)?

Thanks. 

Walter

The apa16 card is memory-mapped at a fixed address.  It might be possible to
physically modify the board to remap it.  You would then have to modify the
server software, which knows there is at most one display of each type, at a
certain fixed address.

For your purposes, I expect the answer is "no".
