I want to use 2 monitors, so I can debug an EGA graphics program. I have an
EGA monitor and board. I got a mono board, but when it is plugged in, my
EGA screen goes wierd. I got nervous and turned it off. 

Doesn't the EGA board map into the same memory space as the Mono board (since
EGA also simulates mono and CGA text)? Does this cause a problem or not?

Should I just expect the weirdness and go ahead with hooking up a monitor to
the mono board? I'd prefer the EGA to be 'primary' if possible!

Any advice from someone who has successfully hooked up both would be truly
appreciated!
