[WriteLog] 2 monitor question

[Jim McDonald]

Ed,

The connector is different to begin with.  I saw one note on the reflector
that an adapter plug is available, but I don't know how reconfiguring
connections could work.  So my opinion is that it can't be done.directly.

I don't know what percentage of the current offerings of flat panel monitors
have the DVI input or, better yet, both DVI and analog, but it's an
advantage, it seems to me.  (Now, if I only understood flat panel TVs,
digital, HD, etc.!)

Jim

What would be the effect if the DVI port were connected to a regular
monitor? Or is that possible?
