As others have posted, all you need is a VGA adapter to connect one monitor
to the built in video, and a video card with suitable adapter/cable to
connect the other monitor to .......

BUT, I am not aware of any video cards for the 6200.


PS - Paul Womar states that Macs can run op to 4 monitors. This is
incorrect, Macs can run more if you have the video cards to drive them. In
principal the old NuBus machines could drive 15 monitors with suitable bus
extenders (and a very deep pocket !), though I never got past three myself.

TTFN, Simon
