I have an OAK VGA card, the exact model I'm not sure, except that it can do 800x600x256 (but I don't have a monitor with that kind of resolution). It has both EGA and VGA style outputs, and a DIP setting for one, the other, or both. Now here's the hard part. Does anyone know if I can use both monitors for Windows (I have a Commodore 1084 monitor, which *should* be able to take the EGA output, but maybe not more than 640x200 resolution)? I'd like to do something like the Macintosh, where two monitors together comprise a virtual desktop, and the mouse moves from one to the other. Does Windows support this, does my VGA card support this, and how would I do it? -- William R Ward <hermit@cats.ucsc.edu> I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
