>Can anyone suggest a method of providing dual-head capability for a Sun >laptop? Are there any supported PCMCIA (or USB?) video cards? Couple of months back I asked the question and received no useful responses, only a couple of people rather "helpfully" pointing out that Sun don't make laptops - yes, yes, but they manufacture the components that third parties build Sparc-based laptops from. Anyhow, I stumbled on a company called Magma (http://www.magma.com/), who make a number of clever things including one blindingly brilliant box that fits the PC-bus slot and provides a number of PCI slots at the other end. It's terrific - we've got one running a dual-head at the moment, provided by a Raptor card inside. About to try a specialist data capture card and a hardware raid card. Works with Solaris - also Windows and Mac if that's your thang. I hope this is useful to others. Chris _________________________________________________________________ On the move?
