There has been much discussion in this group about X terminals.
However, I am more interested in hardware that "plugs" into my
existing system. In particular I am interested in hardware based
servers for VMEbus systems. What out there? How about answering
the following questions:

	1> VMEbus form factor - 6/9u and # of cards
	2> Release level of X supported.
	3> OSs supported - Are drivers binary only or is source
		available?
	4> Number of bit planes (8,12,24...). Can sets of planes be 
		manipulated independently?
	5> Speed.
	6> Price.
