Oh yuck. I re-read the service manual carefully

someone who has tell me if it's about the same size as an HD15F? The
picture is a little fuzzy, but it sure _looks_ like an HD15.
No, EVC looks like a stretched DVI. 9000/B2000 is FXe, which outputs on a VGA-type
HD-15. You're lucky.
I jumped the gun and ordered an EVC --> HD15F adapter from HP anyway.
It's enough out-of-the-ordinary to be worth having on hand and the 20-odd
bucks won't kill me.
Same deal as
the SGI, then. Not a big problem, I'm used to gcc/g++!
Nope, better: the development tools install and operate. Just consider yourself
duty-bound to become a HP 9000 developer and promote the platform if you use them,
and everything should be O.K.
Wow, great! I sure wish HP would make the Alpha C/C++ compilers available
gratis. Maybe this is the start of a trend.
