I use picked up the 3.0 SDK, and I have already run into this problem.
It's very hard to get questions answered, even simple setup questions.

I haven't loaded the software on my system yet, because I'm not sure
I'm going to keep it.  While in the store I didn't notice that I needed a
second monitor to use the debugger.  I am using a PS2 system that
only has 1 full size slot and one half size slot, a P70.  The full size
slot is already used for a dual async board, so adding another video
card is impossible.  I also don't look forward to picking up a 8514
card and another monitor $$$$.  I do have one serial port COM3 free
to use with a dumb term, but from what I have seen this will not
cut it.  Is Windows Code View the only debugger that is usable?  Or
will I be able to still get real work done with what ever else comes
with SDK?  I haven't loaded the software yet, I didn't want to open
all the packing if it wasn't going to be useable.

Second, how much disk space do I need to install SDK?

Thanks,
Mark
