I think Jochen is on the money on this one. According to an OpenVMS-using
friend of mine, a regular 7500 should work and be supported by OpenVMS. I'm
not sure about Tru64 though.

There are also various Elsa cards that provide decent video (and that are
supported by OpenVMS and/or Tru64), but they can be quite difficult to get
hold of (and expensive).
