Another route to avoid using the Symbolics B&W console is to use a color capable Symbolics with the Symbolics VIU-C box (I forget Symbolics's product name for it, it is a pizza box) which allows the processor outoup cable to link to keyboard, mouse, serial and headphone. You then use any RBG BNC monitor for your terminal/screen. This works for 3640/70, all G-machines, XLs. Of course you get color too.
