Hi Chris,
looks nice ... and for those of you who are interested in more numbers
there is an article in the German Unix Magazine iX 8/93.
They did a similar performace test.
The results are, that an ELSA Winner 1000 and a Fahrenheit 1280 are beating
the X Performance of a SUN SS10. But thats only the X Performance ...
not the overall System Performance.
Eisa and local bus cards aren't a mayor performance win !!!
The X11 Server for the PC's was the "commercial" Roell Server ...
The AT&T version was a bit slow and didn't support all cards ...
But interesting ... Perhaps a Linux or other PD System would be
an alternative to a more expensive X-Terminal ???!!!
Motif 1.2 _is_ available for Linux boxes as we all now...
