Minifridge

Permedia 2 (Elsa Gloria Synergy) works with both Tru64 and OpenVMS. Another
one that works with both (older but maybe easier to find) is S3 trio64V or
S3 trio64V+ (these can be found with 2mb vram). The latter one works with
Linux as well, regarding the former one I can't remember did I ever tried
it.

Permedia 3 should also work (with VMS)... if you can find one for PCI...
