I have a MicroVAX-II that came my way with some two-board framebuffer;
I think it's a QDSS or QVSS, but am not sure.  When I get home tonight
I should be able to dig it out and check (I pulled those boards and put
them aside in antistatic protection, pending a reason to use them).

I don't think I have a DEC monitor for it, though.  How possible is it
to cobble up something to use it with a "modern" multisync peecee tube?
(I suppose I should wait to ask this until I can say what kind of
framebuffer it really is....)
