And if it does, you can just use a BNC cabe to hook up to BNC terminals on a
PC multisync monitor; or if you don't have one of those, use a 5BNC-HD15 cable
and just hook up the RGB connectors. It'll work, so long as your monitor
supports sync-on-green.

Definitly. I've looked for EISA cards for my 735's (I have 2), and
failed...they're not so easy to come by.

Or narrow SCSI! One of the best 735 features is the 2 SCSI busses, 1 narrow
and 1 wide, and the 2 drive sleds you can get for it. My 735/125 has 2 4GB
seagate drives in it on the narrow bus.
BTW, are you sure the wide bus is HVD? I didn't think it was, as HP is always
very careful about labeling things like that and neither the port nor the
terminator that came with it is labeled HVD...but then, I haven't used the
wide bus for anything so I don't know for sure.

HPUX 10.x of any sort...I have 10.20 from June 2001 on my machines...

They're fantastic, I highly recommend getting it working!
