Ha! You think that's slow? What is slow is an AlphaServer 1000A
with the on-board graphics chip! It scrolled at about one line per
second.

Sounds like about the same speed. Wanna race?


I have you both beat. I can pull out a TX option for the DEC3000
Turbochannel. A dumb 24-bit frame buffer that we write support for - but
IIRC never shipped.
