Useful Info

OK, maybe not so useful, seeing as I seem to have the only XD88 left in the world...

XD88 Models

Tektronix produced several XD88 variants. Information on these is sketchy at best, although I've been able to piece together the following:

ModelType
XD88/01'Headless' server machine with no graphics (likely a /10 with missing framebuffer board)
XD88/10The machine described in these pages
XD88/20Unknown. Possibly as the /10, but with 24 bit framebuffer?
XD88/30Monster VME rack system, 24 bit framebuffer and hardware 3D

ROM Dumps

I'll get around to these at some point. If anyone needs them, shout (see contacts page for address).
