If so, from whom may I get it? Unless you have a NeWS university source license you are out of luck. (Something to do with that thick pile of paper that accompanies the source tape.) If you do have one, send some mail to Bertram Hertzog bert@citi.umich.edu Bert is the director of UofM CITI. The port is 1.0 NeWS. It ran on every Apollo I could get my hands on, but only in monochrome. A dumb framebuffer port is trivial, anyone familiar with GPR should be able to do the same thing in under a week. I've got some ideas on how to do a good color port, if anyone cares. -greg.
