rather than buying a dual head monitor card if he has a free PCI slot
then find an old Matrox Millenium or Mystique card which were a dime
a dozen a few years back - I have 2 (well one of each) in my old
Frankenmac G4 so can (and did) run 3 monitors - I could part with
them... but don't want to :) - they don't run OX 10.3 to pretty at
all (no O-GL Quartz support) but for a while I had it set up for the
much same purpose as your friend - to run old OS 9 legacy studio
software (Quebase) and now gathering dust after I sold off my audio
to FireWire DAC.
Try the Quokka, e-Bay or Recycle -IT in Osbourne Park - that's were I
got these cards from. From memory they were about $30 or $40 though I
got them for free for finding them installer floppys and salvaged
some external floppy drives for some of their stock.
Matrox did make a dual head PCI Millenium but they were as rare as hens teeth.
A mate of mine is trying to run a home recording studio on a single
15" monitor (1GHz G4). No surprises it doesn't all fit on screen :)
He's got a second monitor (both are analogue XVGA HD15 types).
What are the options for a cheap dual head?
All comments welcomed.
Cheers, Antony.
