[ I sacrifice this line to thee O great Line Eater]

	I just got the source to X-windows (V10.4) and was going to
undertake the monumental task of implimenting a driver for a pair or
Ramtek 9400 graphics displays.  I blew off a listing of the Sun driver
and after glancing at the 107 page output I said to myself: "Self,
we're talking about a major big-time unbelievable effort here.  Why
don't you see if some other poor soul has done it already.".

	Being a mostly reasonable sort and taking my own advice, I
turn unto the net and inquire: "Has anybody managed to make this go
yet?".

	I am currently running 4.2BSD (hoping for 4.3 soon) on a VAX
11/780 and have the Ramteks tied to a Unibus adaptor.  I am using a
minorly hacked driver from Duke University (was originally written for
a PDP 11/23 and a 780 is just a wee bit faster :-)).

	I might have access to a Ramtek 9460 soon but I assume that
anything that will run on a 9400 will work there also.

	I figure that this task may not be as bad as I first thought
because a lot of the stuff that is implimented in software is actually
incorporated in the Ramtek itself making less code and faster
execution.
