Apparently, with a video overlay card, it is /theoretically/ possible to
have dual screens; more to the point, by using two banks of linear RAM, the
internal graphics chip can be set to one, and the VOC can be set to the
other - assuming applications stay out of that RAM.
Extrapolating this, it should be feasible to make a screen-spanning GS/OS
desktop, or run a game that uses two displays.
Are there any demos which demonstrate the VOC tricks like 400-line
interlaced mode?
Yes, I know I posted this in the wrong place before. I was tired ;)
