Hmm... reminds me of a board I have for the PDP-11 (but with one
channel)... it was never directly supported by any PDP-11 OS I know of
(i.e. - no graphical login), but it was easy to talk to from an RT-11
program and scribble pretty pictures on. We used to use only the
green channel and display 512x512 mono images on it.
If your QG-640 doesn't have any sort of keyboard/mouse attachment, I'd
think that it was meant as a display-only device, not a DECwindows
console.

From what I can gleen from the two or three places
it's mentioned (abstracts
from technical articles) it supports dual monitors at
relatively high
resolution (for the time.) No idea if it's monocrome or color... but sounds
like you should be able to use it if you can get a couple of true Multisync
monitors.
