Which brings you back to an older, unsupported (not current) OS...

I'm stepping out on a limb here, but weren't Suns running unusual/uncommon-if-still-standard resolutions that one may struggle matching to a modern non-CRT display? (1152x900 and 1280x1024 seem to be supported resolutions based on the CG14 documentation I found quickly [0])

I didn't say the adapters were rare, I said they were needed...

I notice folks are challenging my reasons, but no one has put forth an alternate valuation...

What do others think OPs system is worth?
