Okay, so the CG6 was the family of cards.. GX was just a member of that
family, as is TGX...

In fact, that spawns yet another question:

I had also gotten the impression that the TGX was a 24-bit framebuffer.
And as you have shown, it does not appear to be such. Is this true?

If so, then is there such a framebuffer available which is 24-bit that can
be used in these SBUS-based pre-Sun4u SPARCs? 
 
Thank you again for replying.
