Hmm. That could be a problem. But, I've lost my chance for the cards, and
I'm not taking this machine anyway.
I do still want to find an old release of SunOS (pre-4) for Sun-3 one of
these days. I also think a GX4000 card could be cool, although it would
probably make me regret passing up the PHIGS books that were being thrown
away at school. I personally think that some of the old software was
really cool, and like the idea of the vector accelerator, rasterizer, and
depth buffer being seperate boards.
