I doubt I'll ever be able to find the monitor, much less the needed cables and keyboard/mouse to turn it into the desktop it was supposed to be, so I've got a color turbochannel framebuffer if anyone has any use for it.  The second is an alphaserver ds10l with the 617mhz EV67 processor, 1.5 gb ram and a radeon video card on the sole pci port, which runs openvms 8.4 on one hard drive and the most recent available version of unsupported debian linux on the other (I think it's sid?) as a workstation.
