I can't really commit any time at the present since I'm finishing my
thesis, but I'd certainly be interested in getting ahold of the source
to play around with.

I've got the card, and the box, but not the mini DB60 cable, DEC part
number 17-03304-01.  Could somebody with the cable tell me if it's
crossed or straight through?

http://www.reed.edu/~agrier/computers/pmax/93.9.ps.gz has the hardware
docs, and I have full DEC docs (on paper) for it if anybody needs a copy.
(The DECmedia user's guide also has information on the DECvideo card --
it'd be really cool to get that working too. :) )
