If not, you will either need a different video card or a PCI video card. If you connect two monitors and boot, you should see the option to arrange the monitors in the control panel.

Earlier than that. The Mac II and SE running System 3 did it from the beginning. And there were add on video schemes for the Plus that supported dual displays, however I don't know how much if any the OS was patched to support this. There was a full page display for the Plus and a color display that plugged connected via the SCSI port. It used Quickdraw I which supported 8 colors. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
