ATI make quad head video cards. If you do not need fancy graphics, |
| 10 |
the cost is very reasonable. the easiest thing is to get a multi |
| 11 |
head card, with keyboard and mouse ports for each monitor port, |

if they are still manufactured. If not, get dual head cards complete |
| 13 |
with mouse and keyboard ports. |
