[rescue] HP machines for CRX48Z frame buffer

[Randy Bowie]

The CRX48Z has a card that fits into a 735/755. That card has a connector
like the one you describe which is connected, via a ribbon cable, to an
external box that houses the real graphics head.  The external box has BNC
connectors.  

Without the external box you don't have anything useful.  :(
