IPX has a framebuffer on the motherboard. It's a CG3. I have two CG6s
laying around if you want...

There are good hardware stores around Indy, you just need to know where
to look (and not be frightened to visit someplace which is next to all
those strip clubs on Pendleton Pike.) Try 'Recycled Computers' by
Pendleton and 465... head northeast on Pendleton for about 1/4th of a 
mile and make a left turn just past the Amaco station. Recycled will be
a 1/4 mile down the street and on the right. The guy runs it out of his
house. Mostly PC gear, but he had over 50 LXs and sometimes gets some
SGI gear in. There was another place on the south side of town, but since
I stopped seeing that chick who lives in Greenwood I don't venture down
there too much *laugh*

I have a spare HD15/13W3 adapter if you're interested, too... and two
16" monitors.

CompUSA works for that, but even a place like Eagle Micro may be
cheaper... you do know where Eagle Micro is, right? Directly across
from the Best Buy in Castleton.

If you find an sbus card with a nic on it, sure. I sold all three NIC
cards I had (two esp+le and one just le.)
