If your bios supports it you can boot without a monitor. Every PC/104
computer comes with it almost. Some people use the P5 display for their
wearables which is a TTY screen. It won't operate of a monitor port, it
goes off serial. In bios if your puter supports it, you can tell it no
monitor is presentand it will make progs think there is a monitor.
