AED in Sunnyvale is building a two-board graphics display for VME and
Qbus systems that directly supports the X V10 protocol. It has a 68020
processor running a message-based multitasking kernel in prom that knows
about X, VT100 and TEK4125 protocols. The display processor board has a
resolution of 1280 * 1024 * 8

The boards are just going into beta test, but i've seen one work and it
looks pretty neat..
