Hello all,
I've got NetBSD installed on my formerly retired SE/30, and it seems great,
except for the screen. After using my newer 17" AppleVision monitor, which
is connected to a PM7600, it's hard to go back to 580x370 (?) monochrome.
I have tried MkLinux on the PM7600: whilst it's a great UNIX-style
environment, for most of the mundane things I do, the MacOS is more handy.
With an X-terminal I could just connect to NetBSD on the SE/30 when the
mood or need strikes, without re-booting.
Is it possible to use the PM7600 & screen as a colour X-terminal? (I think
there is a shareware X-terminal emulation package available from TNT) Can I
connect NetBSD on the SE/30 to the X-terminal on the PM7600 with
AppleTalk? Or should I invest in an ethernet card for the SE/30?
Thanks for all the interesting advice on this list,
Regards, Simon.
