If so, does anyone have any drivers for it >(i.e. Gnuplot, etc). nope, it is absolutely useless. if you give me $25, i'll come and haul it away. 8^) actually the answer to the above is yes, yes, yes. except that you need it connected to a host running "layers" if you host is an AT&T 3B2, you should be in luck. i have heard of people using layers on a SCO box as well. layers allows you to use your 5620 with multiple windows on the screen. i'm sure someone with more info will follow up, or send you mail. -- [ Jim Mercer Reptilian Research merce@iguana.reptiles.org +1 519 893-6085 ] [ "Like a pump in a fish tank, we keep new things coming in so old things ] [ don't die." -- Archie McPhee Catalog ]
