We just received 2 Sun IPCs and expect 1 more soon to be put in a lab of
SLCs.  We bought the color option so they came with one S-bus card which
is the 8bit framebuffer.  My question is:  Can we buy a BW monitor and
have both the color and BW hooked up at the same time??  The monochrome
frame buffer sits unused if you are using the color fb.  This would tax
the system but with additional memory on the IPC, it would be acceptable.
Is it possible though?? 

Thanks in advance,
