What color boards/ graphics boards are available for SUN's
Sun 4/370 (VME bus) or SUN SPARCstations (Sbus) and what are their
approximate cost? I've heard of 24 bit frame buffers (RasterOp, TechSource)
but is there any thing with a large look up table (e.g. 4K rather than 8
bit, requiring a 12 bit frame buffer) and/or multiple LUTs (colormaps)
for multiple windows?

Thanks, any comments would be appreciated,
Kim.
