Don't have any manuals to RTFM and I know this isn't too hard for
those well versed with MAC's and MAC/OS.  

I just installed System 7.0.1 (w/"tune" disk) on a MAC IIcx for
first time.  We already had a portrait monitor and display adapter
card but also had a spare MAC color monitor and color display adapter
card.  To my understanding these can work together, so I put the color
display adapter card in along with the portrait card, but when I boot
ONLY the portrait monitor is active, color monitor is powered up but
nothing appears.  I selected "Monitors" under control panels and it
seems to only see the portrait display card.  I have verified several
times the cards are in correctly, only other card in besides these
two is a 3COM ethernet card.  I did unplug the portrait display card
and just had the brand new color card in their but got no picture
on the color monitor.  I took the cable from the color card and connected
it to an adjacent MAC's color monitor of the same kind and got no display
their either.  This is a brand new color monitor and card.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
