Nope. Not unless it's a monochrome video card.  It wouldn't work with most cards, as
the standard I/O ports and video
memory (segment A000) are the same on VGA/SVGA.

I did use a mono monitor and a VGA monitor on a 286/20 a few years back with Borland
Turbo C. The mono displayed the
editor, and the VGA was the program output. that works because mono cards have
different addresses.

Sorry.
