It is supported by VMS and (or at least was at one time) DUNIX. I am sending this from a tube on an HX+ in a DEC 3000-300LX running VMS 7.1. The builtin graphics option on some DEC 3000 workstations was called "integral HX graphics". There was also a turbo channel HX card which supplied the same function as the integral option. The HX+ was an improved HX. I believe the main difference was the addition of 2Mpixels of graphics memory. It supports 1280x1024 72Hz monitors. The only information I have for it is from the SOC. I believe there is a manual available which includes more information, but I never ordered one, so I am not sure how much useful information is in it. If you want to try plugging it in to a VMS system, I can try answering any questions you may have concerning autogen parameters and multihead support. George
