I had no idea there were LCD's on
vintage computers. Wow.
Yup. Those of my SPARCstations which are connected to displays are
using flat panels (as I remarked, I don't know the precise technology,
but I suspect they're LCD). And there are things like the SPARCstation
Voyager with its built-in flatscreen, or my IBM WorkPad z50, with *its*
built-in flatscreen...though the discussion so far doesn't really apply
to built-in screens like the Voyager's or the z50's.
To some, I daresay, using a modern display on a classic machine borders
on heresy, like using a converter and a modern disk instead of an RP03,
or replacing a blown module with a modern IC functional equivalent.
But there are some, such as me, to whom it's not unreasonable; I
certainly know that if I refused to use anything non-original with my
classic machines I'd have substantially fewer classic machines in use.
