I've got a Sun3/50 running NetBSD but have a line on a 3/60 with more
memory and a color card. Since I have been forbidden to add any more
computers at home ;) I want to swap out the 3/50.
I've also got a line on some large color monitors within driving distance
and I'd like to get a little background before trying to put the two
together...
responses can go directly to me since this isn't really a NetBSD issue
but rather hardware. If anyone would like I can consolidate the
responses and post it here or mail it direct.
I checked out the Sun Hardware FAQ but it just mentions the existence of
a color buffer (switchable to mono and hi/lo resolution). The guy with
the monitors has a mish-mash of different units with different cabling.
Most have been hooked up to Suns before tho and he has a 3/270 running
(if that uses the same type) to test it on.
Does the 3/60 color take RGB+sync? or sync on green? I'm over my head
there since I only have mono at home :) so any info is helpful!
I know the resolutions of these buffers but could someone also pass on
their color limits? I'm not expecting 24bit/20" color for a couple
hundred bucks but its more than 16 colors right? ;)
TIA!
