[rescue] FW: Voyager framebuffer?

[Bob]

Maybe they used a color board but a monochrome screen.  I have a color one fully working with the matching carry bag.  This sucker is heavy to carry around.  I just wish I could get  the battery pack open to replace the cells.  A future project is to get a bigger hard drive in it.
