This article was previously published under Q38865 SUMMARY
To use the /2 switch to enable dual-monitor debugging in CodeView,
your computer must be equipped with a monochrome display (MDA) and a
color display (CGA/EGA/VGA). Monochrome display adapters are not
generally available for the IBM PS/2 computers because they come with
built-in VGAs or MDAs, but not both. This means that dual-monitor
debugging is usually not possible on a PS/2 system.
This is a hardware issue and not a CodeView limitation; therefore,
when hardware vendors start selling MDAs that can be added to PS/2
systems with built-in VGAs, then CodeView dual-monitor debugging will
be available on the PS/2.
