[Elecraft] P3 and Other Windows Simultaneously

[Harry Yingst via Elecraft]

About the only way I can see this working would be to use aVGA video INPUT card for the PC to bring the signal into the PC.
Monitors are fairly inexpensive so it's probably cheaper to just add a dedicated monitor.
I already run 3 monitors, and I'm considering a 4th to dedicate just to the P3

Or get a dual monitor - two screens side-by-side on a single mount - if
space allows.  Several of the manufacturers make them.

Interestingly, a fellow at the Apple store here told me that the older
Macs could have two displays on the same screen one of which was a VGA
input, but the newer ones (as of three or four years ago) cannot.  He was
a sales clerk, not an engineer so far as I know, so I have my doubts.

When this question was last on the reflector someone suggested converting
the P3¹s SVGA output into an Internet signal.  Both Windows and Mac allow
simultaneous display of the browser and any other resident application.
Exactly how to do that conversion is beyond me . . . but if anyone knows
an easy way, please post it here . . .  Thanks.
