EGS abilities...
« on: June 25, 2011, 02:55:36 PM »
I know this is an old system in comparison to CGX or Picasso96, but when I was running it way back when (my good old U of Lowell card) I thought the coolest thing was that I could run a multi-monitor system with it and support multiple graphic cards running simultaneously.
 
Honestly, I only pulled off the Lowell card and ECS, but having both monitors running at the same time was rather cool!
 
AFAIK, EGS is the only system with this capability.  Or should I say, IS EGS the only system that can do this?

Both CGX and P96 can do this too.


REALLY?  Just to clarify, I'm talking about using them at the same time where I can drag the mouse pointer across one monitor onto the other, not just switching back and forth.

The only reason I sound a bit skeptical is that  I remember asking about this ability way way back and getting strange looks and replies that nothing could do it.  It was after I gave up my Lowell, so I couldn't prove it or even find documentation supporting what I was saying...
