  Hi,

     I'm looking for how to get documentation or demo
  program source for the following hardware products:

     Spectragraphics' Graphics Peripheral Set

     DEC's 3D graphics accelerator card

     The graphics accelerator should be able to do Z-buffering,
  3D lines, 3D polygons, and 24-bit color.  The graphics peripheral
  set consists of 8 knobs and 32 LED illuminated buttons.  All
  I need are the basic operations.  i.e. read the positions of the knobs,
  or button press, simple 3D line drawing and Z-buffering.  We are
  running X11 R4 under Ultrix 4.0 on a DECstation 5000/200 with 8Mb of
  memory, and a 300Mb hard disk.  We recently got these wonderful
  products but we are lacking programming documentation for them.

                                              thanks,

                                              Mark Spychalla
