We use the AED displays with 6155 adapters. A minor hardware change had to be made to make this work; I don't know what it was (new cables?). I used to have an AED display connected to my workstation. The IBM diagnostics called it a "hardware problem" and refused to run until I took out the adapter. (There's a flaw in the RT diagnostics -- they assume at most one thing is wrong and stop when they find it.) -- John Carr (jfc@athena.mit.edu)
