There was also an early hack done on Amigas that slaved
three of
them running 'Jet' to give you three views and thus a wraparound
screen effect.
Even with just a single big-box Amiga and a graphics card
such as the GVP Spectrum, it is possible to install as many of the
graphics cards as you have Zorro-II/III slots and use them each as a
seperate display. I believe it is even mentioned in the Spectrum's
user manual with regards to doing such as thing with EGS. It's been
a long time since I looked at the manual though and I don't have one
here in front of me, but I do know that you could definately put
multiple Spectrum's in a single Amiga. The processing power would
then be the main limiting factor as to how complex each display's
images could be, especially if animated.
Years ago I thought about using a cluster of Amiga's to do
some sort of VR setup, each Amiga tasked with a specific section.
The interesting thing would've been to keep them synced.
