Oh yeah! I even wrote an article on the Digiview for BYTE magazine back in
the day. I had completely forgotten about that. I bet I could build an
interface for my VAX that would digitize a video signal one pixel at a time
and then display it using the VT340's SIXEL graphics. How cool is that...

Dang another project to add to the list, at least I got the GKS stuff
running :-)
