Only VAXstations have framebuffers.
May I ask a philosophical question?
My take on the vaxStation in general is that is allows
graphics on the desktop without limiting the user to
having to maintain the server, and further the server
is shareable to many places. This is diluted somewhat
by the impression that vaxStation/vaxServer pizza boxes
go good together in pairs. once more: is this Correct?
Were vaxStations (2000,3100) intended to run XWindows
client (called Server) on top of Ultrix? Were there any other
major software configurations? I guess if you weren't doing
graphics then the Stations may have been overkill?
