    Can you set up a two monitor set up using your M6809 as the cpu and use your laptop monitor as one of the two monitors?

    No right?

    Can you use another computer with a dual monitor video card and use your m6809 as the second monitor?

    Yes you can use an external monitor with your laptop. No additioinal software needed. Just plug a monitor in and go to the settings tab of display properties to set it up. I think you can even use the s-video out as a second screen, with seperate content. Using your laptop as a second screen probably can't be done, however.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?
