Sort of.

I think that the megapel will step out of the way if you turn off CGA
emulation mode.  Look at "Options Installation", one of the red books
that should have come with your RT.

You should be able to use the 286 emulator and drive the CGA directly.
But you probably want to use the CGA as an RT console.  You can write
a simple programs to throw characters onto the screen using the
/dev/bus, or you might be able to get the sample cga driver in
/usr/lpp/examples/disp/* working.  I've not tried to do so.  It isn't
a plug and go situation, in any case.

Good luck......
