On my desk is an Intel 386 box with an "82786 Workstation Graphics Engine."
This display card is apparently nicknamed "the Blit" and has the nice
feature of providing a 1664x1200 monochrome image.

Unfortunately, I have only a crippled version of X11R3 for it.  There was
no source lying around, and this version does not even accept TCP/IP X
connections, making it nearly usesless for my purposes.

Does anyone else out there have one of these and a better X?  Or would
my chances be better to find a VGA board and monitor?  I'd hate to give
up the big picture.

This system is running UNIX System V/386 Release 3.2.
