Here's the poop:

There will be a 6386E WGS Hardware reference manual coming out "real soon now"
and in it are all of the gruesome details on how to program the front panel.

I was able to write a little DOS program that allows me to put letters up on
the front panel, and another one that changes attributes of the front panel
so that it blinks, etc. but what I really want is a unix device driver for
the front panel that I can do things like "echo Hi there >/dev/fpanel" to.

If anyone can help me on this I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks
