Pericom MX7200... (again)

[I asked about this before (a few months ago) but I got no response --
maybe one of the new people can tell me...]

Can someone tell me what a Pericom MX7200 is? It was a freebie (a
appearnlty rightly so). It's got a genuine MC68000P12 in it. When I plug
the video in and turn it on, it just sits at a blank screen with a
flashing cursor in the corner. Sometimes it will come on with some sort
of debugging screen (as in something's broken), but it will quickly flash
off before I can read it fully. I'm guessing it's a broken trace on the
PCB, as it's quite old and brittle.

I've gathered that it's somesort of graphics workstation but I know
nothing more. I've heard you used them to do graphics visualizations on a
graphics-less VAX -- any truth to this?

Thanks,
Adam
