Hi, I'm trying to run NetBSD/mac68k 1.2 on a IIci at work.  The built-in
video works fine, however, I can only run X11R6 in monochrome on it.  And
it's only got a little 13" Apple RGB monitor on it (640x480?) is a little
small.  I'd really like to be able to find a NuBus video card that would
support a 16" monitor and higher resolution (ideally, 1024x768) for X.

In perusing the NetBSD port-mac68k mail archives, I've seen a "Toby" video
card mentioned as working under X.  I have no idea what this card is, however.
Anyone care to enlighten me?

Thanks ...
