Hello, is it possible to run 2 monitors off a RISCOS system?, if so, can
it be done with a RISC PC running RISCOS 4.03? Can i just put a second
graphics card in it and do it that way?

Matrox Graphics have an ugly hack that would enable you to do this to
some extent: it's a box you plug into your VGA port that emulates a
monitor with a very wide resolution. This box in turn has two VGA
outputs, and it splits the signal between them, thus allowing dual-head
with no hardware or OS support from the computer.

I haven't heard of anybody even trying to use one of these with a RiscPC,
and they're quite expensive.
