The monitor is irrelevant - if it is a color monitor, it can display 24
bit color.

Sun does sell a 24 bit frame buffer, the CG8.  As of several months ago,
it was only available with the 4/110-TC, but it may become a separate
product at some point.  I don't know if it would be supported in a 3/260,
but I don't see why not.

There is a company called Tech Source in Florida that sells what looks
like a very nice frame buffer with up to 32 bit planes.  See the latest
Sun Technology magazine for their address.

Hope this helps,
 Dave Kemp
