The demos that come with the TAAC graphics accelerator run under Sunview.
This is fine _if_ you have a setup that supports this:

- you must have a graphics board running Sunview on the machine that the
  TAAC is installed in.  The video can than be genlocked together to go to a
  single monitor

However, we elected not to get this second graphics buffer, because our
TAAC board is in a SparcServer 4/470 to which we do not want to attach a
monitor/keyboard/etc.  

So, the question is this:  does anyone know if there are versions of the
TAAC demos that run under OW?  I'd like to give our lab a demo of the
board's capabilities now that we have it, but that won't fly unless I have
something to demo!
