I saw a demo by NeXT of a cube with two cards and monitors.  They had a window
split between the two screens.  Two problems, though:

1. They were demoing the bus interface chips, which are not quite generally
available yet, and

2. They cautioned that the power supply is NOT rated to handle more than one
monitor at a time (don't try this at home, kids).
