I doubt they were asking $75 for one. The problem with those VGA adapters is that the Solaris terminal code gets confused and it wraps the lines in a weird mode, and some lines are not displayed at all. As the old sparcs are pretty slow, you might not want to run X on them. Just use a serial cable to have a console in case anything goes wrong. florin -- "If it's not broken, let's fix it till it is." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
