No kidding!  I've got a 3rd party framebuffer for my PDP-11/73, but 
have never gotten it working, in part because I'm not sure what it 
would take to hook up a monitor or even what type monitor would be 
needed.  In my case I've got drivers for RSX-11M, but they existed 
for RT-11, and maybe other OS's.

One of these days I really need to figure out how to get a monitor attached.
