It should take standard X instructions from damned near anything, be
it Solaris, HP/ux, AIX, Linux or even AT&T Unix. Without docs it
might be tricky to set up the networking -- that's one place where X
terminal manufacturers never got even close to concensus. But the
ROM should have the needed X-server code.
Not in my experience. I have a couple of HDS terminals. They are inert.
The system that used to feed them (via tftp) was culled for free space about
two weeks before I inquired. :-( We abandoned some NCR X-terms at work
because we didn't want to bother to set them up under Solaris (from an
ancient AT&T StarServer). In both cases, the ROMs only knew enough to
load an image from a LAT server or something similar.
If anyone has an old HDS image lying around, I'd love to test out my terminal.
