Here is a just-for-fun query.
Does anybody have a collection of the framebuffer logos that appear on boot? With the variety of framebuffers around, I'm sure there are rarely-seen ones.
For example, the CG6:

(This picture is 512x512, so I don't know where it came from.. the boot ones look about 128x96 to me)
Well down this page, you'll see the rather rare GT logo:

Probably the AG10-E:

A few side questions:
When did Sun began displaying a framebuffer logo at boot?
Is there a way to pull the graphics off the card programmatically instead of photographing the monitor?
Have fun,
