This question came up earlier today at a NeXT demo at UT Austin on 09/19/90. According to the NeXT rep, both the color and the non-color displays can be used at the same time. In fact, they can be set up to be part of the same "desktop" - that is, you can drag a window between displays. You can even configure the displays to act as if they were physically beside each other or above/below one another. >(Can more than one NeXTdimension board be used in a NeXTcube?) The NeXT rep. didn't say for certain but did imply that this might be available in the future. -- John Garnett University of Texas at Austin garnett@cs.utexas.edu Department of Computer Science Austin, Texas
