Yup, we're running it on a DECstation 5000/125, 64mb RAM, 500mb HDD (RZ26
or was that 56?), PMAG-BA, VR-299 .. works fine, X and all.. about the
speed of a top end 486, perhaps greater in fact. All around very usuable,
we're doing some work with using PVM for mathematical modelling.
Just remember with X to link /dev/mouse to /dev/fb0...
Qn: We have one machine with a PMAG-C, well that's what we think it is..
its got PMAG-C written on the back and appears to have it's own processor
and RAM on board the card. What are the monitors that match? The VR299's
we have are out-of-sync on that card.
Cheers
Karl

I am getting very sick of getting SPAM..... I won't retaliate, I just
won't buy your product, and will recommend others to do the same.
