there isn't much information on this site about motherboards... and you can't search the database entries for that info either (just a substring search of the machine description would work for looking for things like BH6)...
i have a BH6 (original w/newest bios)
(PCI) ATI Mach64
(PCI) Creative Graphics Blaster 3d (Cirrus logic laguna)
(AGP) ATI RageIIC
no combination of any of these cards works.
in the POST results screen when the machine starts, i will only ever have one 'Display Adapter' listed.
Win2K can see two adapters (doesn't matter which ones i have in at the time) and the secondary card will ALWAYS have a '!' in the Device Manager, and the text reads
'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'
my theory is that the BH6 can't handle two video boards? shouldn't they both appear in the PCI device listing when the machine is starting?
some entries in the database are using BP6 but i havn't found any that use BH6 yet...
the ATI cards both have jumpers for altering the VGA Interrupt (is that what you guys call 'disabling the vga' ?) but it doesn't seem to matter how i have the jumpers set on the cards.
any suggestions?

Older ATI cards don't work as secondary on Win2000. Not sure about the Cirrus, but I've seen people having problems with those as well (on Win2000). See the FAQ 'S3 and Windows 2000' for more information.
If you want to buy a new secondary video card, try the video card shopping guide: http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/shopping_guide.asp.
I'll add the capability to search for systems, expect this to be up in about a week. In the meantime, here's a list of all configs with the BH6: 140, 188, 219, 259, 260, 301, 305, 346, 350, 387, 410, 422, 570, 622, 667, 695, 704.
Configurations can be accessed with the following URL: http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/details.asp?Config=X
where X is any of the numbers above, for example http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/details.asp?Config=704.

Check out the ATI website, they have a whole lotta info and I remember somewhere reading that you cannot (at least on W2K) use 2 ATI cards to set up a multimon system - you must use one ATI and one from another company. Why ? Driver conflict, since they share common components, because they are both ATI cards !
