 Greetings:

I am looking for any information on the Chromatics CGC7900 graphics
workstation. Recently I was lucky enough to get hold of two of these monsters.

Both machines have three megs, eight bit planes and both the raster and vector
processor options. They run IDRIS, what version I'm not sure.

All the documentation I have is the users guide -- I managed to hack the login
and figure out the OS is very close to Version 7. I can't find the cc command
anywhere so I'm guessing there's no compiler.

Any tips appreciated...
