EGS abilities...

[J-Golden]

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.

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...

Sure it is possible....
In 2002 I had an dual-monitor setup useing Amithlon and a Matrox-card and I even wrote a small commodity for scrolling the mouse from one to another.

That also worked on the A4000 with Picasso2 and CyberVision (running CGX4 AFAIR).

There's no way of stretching a screen across multiple displays though. Unless you run shapeshifter and old MacOS, which does this just fine (not ironic at all, huh?)
