I'm looking for a color frame buffer with a VME interface that is more
than eight bits deep and has a full color lookup table.  An eight bit
unit with multiple color maps would also be acceptable.  The company
should have, or be working on, a X.V11 or a NeWS/X.V11 driver.  The
frame buffer doesn't need to have a lot of fancy graphics hardware (a
blitter would be nice though).

Does anyone know of such a beast?  My preliminary chasing about hasn't
flushed anything that matches the above description.  Most of the
systems I found were either simple eight bit buffers, simple 24 bit
buffers (with separate red, green, and blue maps), or fancy image
processing boxes.
