All of you crusty old hackers may remember "Multiple 68000's In A Personal
System" in Dr. Dobb's from the early 80's that I wrote. The graphics display
used a hardware Breshenham vector generator! The board still exists, back
at my friend's house in Milwaukee, guess I'll have to call him and ask if
he can dig up the schematics.
