It's an semi-often talked about topic, but I don't believe anyone is
actually working on it presently.  Does the NetBSD/pmax port for the
DECstation 3100 use the same graphics subsystem as the VAXstation 3100?
I think I remember discussions of that from the past.   If they are the
same, then you might be able to find some good clues in the pmax source.

Yes, it's controlled by the same internal SCSI board which services the
internal drives.  But you'll need a cable that can handle the wide
(68pin?) style connector.
