We need someone in Phoenix, AZ who does OS/2 tech support.

Specifically, can you use 2 vga cards in an os/2 system?

Why?
We have a system with 1 vga video card and 1 monochrome(9-pin ISA) video card. The 9-pin mono monitor died and we can't find another.
Why 2 cards? Cause we have a multi-user system for customer/client "clock-ins" and the other for normal user use.

If we can't make it work with os/2 we'll have to upgrade the software and downgrade the os to Windows.
PM me if you're in the Phx area and you really know your os/2.

Thanks.

You might go over to the for sale\trade forum and post that your are looking for a very old monitor. I bet someone has one in a closet.

Have you tried at local rummage shops(Value Village, Goodwill,etc)? We got one at one of those a bit back for temporary use on our HAAS cnc's when the crt's go out.

As far as finding good OS/2 help, Good luck...There is a number of ok sites dedicated to OS/2, But I still can't even find a decent screen saver for a machine we have at work that we are stuck(and yes, I mean stuck) with using OS/2 on.:frown: Not to pee on your parade, but I feel Windows of any version to be an upgrade from OS/2. That OS/2 has rubbed me wrong since we got it back in '97. No need to flame me OS/2 worshippers, Just my personal experiences.. Try a google search for OS/2.

I beleive I know where I can get a hold of a 9 pin monitor. I can find out tommorow night. However, I have no way of being able to test it to see if it works.
