Hmmm... my U10 has VGVA and a 13W3. I assume one
overrides the other?
The 10 and optionally the 5 comes with a 3D Creator card.
I pulled the one I have and use the ATI vga connector, which
is just fine with anything I need to do on the sun.
way till the

are not as nice as the U5 because they require scsi
drives.
Nothing wrong with SCSI... :> meece that are
USB can go to PS2.
- mice are PS2, Serial, Sun, USB, ADB, etc.
It seems like lots of converters involved. :-(

"hide the keyboard and mouse" class.
AIX boxes that I am keeping must have vga

Sheesh! This sounds like a real mess! :-(
I assume the reason off-the-shelf devices that handle all of
this "nicely" don't exist because most installations are
homogenous?
