I have a two monitor setup at home for graphics programming/debugging.
I recently bought an Orchid Fahrenheit 1280 accelerated SVGA card.  I
have been having some problems running both monitors at once.  Although
the cards generally coexist rather well, certain problems (especially
with autodetect routines) occur.

After speaking with Orchid, I was told that the only card that can
peacefully live with the F1280 is a mono card the "is incapable of
going into graphics mode."  All the mono cards I can find new can do
the Hercules graphics modes.  What I need is a genuine MDA tha works.
Will buy or trade for my current card.

Does anyone still have one of these?
