Second monitor on Mac OSX10.2

2002-09-19 by Bruce Kinch

As the school I teach at will switch to OS X in Jan, I will have to 
go along (and hope a workable Piezo driver materializes).

I'd also like to add a second (palette) monitor, and have been told 
that 10.2 puts some restrictions on what video card to choose. Should 
I go for the Radeon Apple is shipping with current Macs, or does 
anyone have experience with a cheaper alternative?

Strictly PS7 still work, BW/Color split 50/50, no digital video or 
games concerns. Base unit is a 400mhz Sawtooth G4, adding a spare 15" 
monitor to my 19" Mitsu.

The original video card seems to have a second, odd looking plug, 
which I assume is for diagnostics, not another monitor.

One newbie question-do I need a card with two outputs, or can I have 
two single plug cards in tandem?

TIA

Bruce
