It may only be the GX+ and TGX+ that can do double-buffering.  I made an
effort to avoid GX and TGX consoles because of how horribly slow they
felt relative to anything else I'd used.

One of the NetBSD folks has asked for the TGX-A and one of the MGX boards,
but the other are all still available.  I don't want to threaten them with
scrapping, but there's a lot less interest in these than there as in OS/2
