So my new VLC has a different frame buffer (for some reason I thought they
were all the same). This one has a little switch on it and flat ram chips
(all the others have a row of soldered in SIPs for ram and no switch.
Anyone know what the difference is? Zane?

At least two versions out there:
a.) 1 mbyte VRAM, with 2 crystals, resolution 1024x864x8
b.) 2 mbyte VRAM, one crystal, resolution 1280x1024x8

I see cables for this quite frequently on EBay. I believe the part #
is BC29G-xx... I don't bid on them, so you might even win one :^

You can 'do' a "Show Config" from the console command prompt (not while
in
VMS) to determine what type framebuffer you've got.
