I need some info on a color graphics terminal that can be used
on a MicroVAX-II (i.e. has a Q-bus interface available).  We are
going to be displaying data in a form similar to an analog gauge
and need to update the needle position at about 10 time a second
for each of six simultaneously displayed gauges.  This means that
we probably won't be able to use a serial terminal and really need
a memory mapped beast of some type.  Any info available on
your experiences with these types of terminals or any reliable
third party comments are welcome.
