Actually, you can run two monitors without overloading the power supply.

This is a cheaper solution. Also, Ray Bloom of Marble has pointed out that
you can attach a null modem cable to the serial ports of the two boards, open
a getty on the remote, and then use a terminal window on the '040 side to
monitor the remote. Neat idea.
