Ahh yes 24bit graphics but slow, by not supported under 2.5 or latter does
it mean a hardware version? Is it worth buying another frame buffer for this
thing (SS2), since neither NetBSD or OpenBSD support this thing, and I doubt
I will have the coding skills to write my own driver for it.  What version
of Solaris would run on this I doubt 8 will hehe, any other OSes?

I am actualy surprised at how fast this thing runs when you log in through
telnet, on the console its slow slow slow, I even put this netbsd hack on it
so it works faster, and it does but its still slow....

Thanks
