i've found a number of old NEC Monograph displays, 8-bit ISA adapters
with a 13" 1024x1024 square tube.
my intention is to use these on older 386 machines, preferablly diskless
or floppy boot.
after a years wait, i think i've scavanged enough equipment to put a small
network together. i've got a few unix hosts, some 386's and 3/[56]0's
for terminals and a sparc (sun 4/260) which i'm hoping might work.
failing that i'll be mostly intel until i can scavenge more stuff.
(can someone point me at some kind of "currently supported hardware" list?)
i've requested the latest CD, so i hope to start poking at stuff soon.
