My all-time favourite is the Wyse 700, a two-board sandwich
of fast TTL and a 6545. It could do 1280x800 graphics
(monochrome) way back in 1986 or so, which was great for
the first generation of PC-based Desk-Top Publishing
programs like Ventura.

I still have one, and the special monochrome CRT for it.
