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.

You mentioned Diamond graphic cards - my question is: do you have drivers
for them thar cards? I am still trying to put together a list of supported
hardware configurations and so far, haven't gotten very far.
Any help will be appreciated. I plan on setting up and maintaining
a list of known hardware that works, making life easier on others who
will not have to go through this over and over

What does a gnot win you? We're working at putting together
the ideal terminal using a PC.
At the moment, we've got a 486, we boot with tftp, and have 1600x485x2
resolution using Diamond Stealth Pro graphics card. Presently we're
using a 17" monitor (which is usable). We'd like to get a look at a 21"
grey-scale screen. Eizo has one (Aus$2800) but there's no local
distributor at the moment so we haven't seen it yet.
Has anyone else seen any grey-scale screens around?
Any other ideas on best machine for a terminal? We want something
already supported by Plan 9, cheapish, with a nice high-res display for
large help(1) windows.

| There was a post about creating comp.os.plan9. What happened?
One person suggested it on the net, but I didn't see any followups.
Given the light volume on this list, Would there be enough traffic to
justify a newsgroup?

Anyone interested in getting comp.os.plan9 should read read the "How to
Create a New Usenet Newsgroup" faq. The URL is:
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-group/news.groups/How_to_Create_a_New_Usenet_Newsgroup
In general, somebody needs to draft up a Request For Comments, including a
proposed charter of the new newsgroup and make it available. Then, if
there's any interest out in net land, have a vote.
I haven't seen a RFC for comp.os.plan9, so I assume nobody has gone this
far. If nobody else steps forward, I could write up a RFC.

I am interested in knowing this as well.

Seeing the overwhelming response to my nofileserver.ps offer, I am
hoping to get deluged likewise with requests to sell me a Gnot ;)
Actually, I was wondering if any Gnots are available commercially.
And please, no sun 3/50's. I want the Gnot.
Now onto some more questions:
There was a post about creating comp.os.plan9. What happened?
I think I saw somewhere that plan 9 was going to go primetime,
i.e, commercial. Any people in the know able to confirm/deny?
