The frambuffer is likely the stock one - 1280x1024x256colors. I've got
one of these machines and just just just got it up and running VMS. If
you need any help, lemme know.
Ed KIrby at CPB 828-274-5963 has the 19" monitor for your machine.
Regards,
Jeff

I've been lurking here for about a month now. A
friend of mine told me
there were a lot of DECheads here, so I signed up. I've been puttering
around with big iron for about a few years, but I don't have anything
left (had two VAX 730's and several PDP-11's - an 11/34, 11/73 and what I
think was either an 11/04 or an 11/03... I'm sorta regretting getting rid
of any of them... I'd like to get back into hacking Unibuss stuff
someday)
Anyways, I recently got a VAXstation 4000/60 from
e-bay, for what I
considered to be a nice price. Works fine. Had VMS 5.5-2 on it, but I got
the hobbyist license and VAX/VMS 7.2 CD from montagar (good deal!).
It only has 24mb of RAM - 8mb built in, and four 4mb
chips, leaving two
slots open. Unfortunately, the best I can do on that setup would be 32mb
RAM. I know the machine can do 104mb (96mb in chips, I guess that would
be six 16mb chips), but I'm not sure of the type of memory used.
It also has two RZ25's, which are a bit tight. What
limitations do I have
on drives that can be installed?
I'm not using the frame buffer. My intention even
before I received it
was to run a serial console. But I think it might be fun to run a
graphical display. Have no idea what type of frame buffer is installed,
except that it has an odd sub-D connector with three mini-BNCs inside.
What's the specs on the monitor that can be connected? Can I get an an
adapter cable to connect it to my PC monitor?
