771.0. "Which PCI Video Cards will work??" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Eric Dube) Tue Apr 29 1997 12:44

System: Multia 233 Alpha running Windows NT V4.0 SP2
        (PCI Slot is open.)

Two Questions:

1) If I add another ZLXp-E1 card to the PCI slot (not sure if it fits??)
can I get Windows NT V4.0 to multihead?? Does such a video driver exist??
(Even for internal use only is fine..)

2) If not :1, then does anyone know WHICH video cards will FIT
in the Multia and have drivers for Windows NT V4.0 with 4 meg or greater 
of video memory? (Also, decent performance is required.)


THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

Regards,
Eric Dube

771.1Wow, that ZLXp-E1 was tight!! (Used a Pry Bar)NNTPD::"[email protected]"Eric DubeThu May 01 1997 23:4817
Okay, to eloborate on my previous question since no one seems to know.

1) Yes, the ZLXp-E1 DOES FIT in the Multia, however I have no idea if it
can be multiheaded. (I downloaded the latest OPEN 3D driver and it had no
support for multiheading...)  Does anyone know if this is possible??
(I'm willing to provide a "favor" for this one. You name it.)

2) In a previous message posted by someone from the Multia group, they
talk about a list of video cards tested with the Multia. Does any one have
that list lying around?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!!

Eric Dube

There is/was a multihead option for the Multia - though before the Win NT 4.0
days. I've seen it at the European DECUS symbosium in 1995.

No idea what the current state is, but maybe there is more info buried in this
notesfile.

    T'was the Orion Twindows PCI Card from Datapath (UK)
    which worked pretty well as far as I can remember.
    Wasn't it in Dublin where we showed it?

Thierry,

it sure was in Dublin. And weren't you the helpful guy who helped and instructed
us how to set up the Multias in the SIS room ?

Cheers,
Hans.
