What do thoses switches do? Without the manual, they probably just screw up the display. :-) Seriously, I don't have the SPX documentation handy. The part number for the SPX manual is likely EK-WS01X-OS -- but please check for suitability *before* ordering this part. |>I seem to remember seeing a monitor cable attachment that would allow |>SPXs to do dual monitors. Is there a way to do a two headed monitor? You've remembered correctly -- there is dual-head monitor cable available -- the BC09E-06. |>The monitor is currently a VR319-CA, which is a nice size, but a little |>fuzzy from age. What other monitors can be used with this set up? 1280 x 1024 x 66 Hz, or 1024 x 864 x 60 Hz. The VR319, VR320 and the VRT19 were the high-resolution monitors (the VRT19 is a Sony Trinitron) sold with these systems. Also available are/were the lower-resolution VR150, VR262, VR160, VR297, and VR299 monitors. These are all old in the current scheme -- there are newer model monitors that I've here omitted. Some of these parts may still be available -- check with the folks at 1-800-DIGITAL for details and for applicability.
