Just wanted to jump in here and say that my company is testing the Beta
release of the MicroCahnnel driver , and has worked with this product under
the AT BUS with ISC 2.0.2

Not only did we get the X_WINDOWS on the terminal , BUT  the performance was
fine.  Full virtual terminal support is there so you can toggle between, say
, X Windows and a EGA GIF viewer in VPIX by hotkeys.

Neat thing, the Sunriver station has 2 serials on it , use one for the mouse
.. hook a dumb terminal to the other.
