I gave the DECStation 3100 to a fellow caretaker and he
had some questions
I thought I would bring up here to see if there were any easy answers:
1) Is the display adapter on the main board of the DS3100 always monochrome?
No. The vsimm determines whether the frame buffer operates in 8-bit or 1-bit
mode. Simply insert a "color vsimm" (more memory for more bitplanes, nothing
more) and you've got a color framebuffer.
4) What monitor works with this system?
VR290 and VR299 at the very least. Definitely others as well but those are
the only ones I've used.
