I vaguely recall hearing about this... was it 8-bit CLUT based or was
it true 24-bit?

I don't even have a correct monitor for the Sun-3's 1-bit frame buffer
that I have currently.

A friend gave me the CPU and had already tossed the monitor.  IIRC,
these monitors were specific to the Sun and couldn't be used for any
other machines.
