More to the point Megatek (myself and some others) modified the boot

Technically they should be recognized as cg9(?) video cards if you
have the correct boot ROMs. Good luck finding those however.

There is no terminal for it.
Megatek started out making caligraphic displays for DG systems
those evolved into the Wizzard series. I have one with a Unibus
interface.
They switched to raster in the late 70s eventually moving to
standalone 3D color raster terminals.
The VME boards were their last gasp as a company as the graphics
terminal market collapsed.
Like all of the specialized 80's VME boards, it is going to be pretty
much impossible to find software for them today.
