I think it has to do with the color-depth. A while ago, I did a
presentation with the 701, via overhead-display hooked up to the
port-replicator... I had some trouble with that, too, but I think
with Descent (I always trouble_shoot_ with games...), it worked
double-screen. As far as I can recall, double-screen only worked
with 265 colors (or less), not with the 16bit I usually use under
win95.
By the way, when I'm in win95 with 16bit color, and a DOS-box is
opened, is scrambles my display. It is ok if I F1 into BIOS and
ESC back, but it is a bit annoying when selfextractors use a DOS-box...
keep foldin' those keyboards,
