Subject: How to Have Four Graphics Screens on One IBM AT?
From: MHARRIS@A.BBN.COM

I am trying to find a way to drive several (different) graphics screens using
a single IBM PC/AT.  All the EGA & clone cards (e.g. Orchid) seen so far are
hardwired to the same memory address, i.e. two of these cards will conflict.
I'm talking to the higher-priced folks this week (e.g. Matrox, Number Nine),
but I need to drive four screens --  and four of those cards cost a bunch.

Do you know a way to put their memories at different addresses?

Or do you know a BETTER solution?  (like: a 1024x768 card which can drive
four 512x384 displays)

Or are you a manufacturer who can help?  If so, please call soon.

Thanks.		-- Michael Harris

Subject: Special Info-graphics mailings


Due to the increased activity around this time of year
(principally because of SigGraph next month), I'll be
sending out Info-Graphics slightly more often than usual
over the next couple weeks.

This will provide you with slightly better turnaround
time for your Info-Graphics submissions during the
period just before the conference, just in case there
are issues you want to bring up here that might bear on
SigGraph or fruitfully be discussed there further in person.
