Dunno if that would be possible, unless you run X over the network, but
there was an early vaxstation 8000 series, which, iirc, used an E&S bi
bus graphics card. I lusted after one of those, even at 1 vups, but they
must have been as rare as rocking horse whatsit. The original VS100, a
730 with E$S graphics, was used to do some of the earliest dev work on X.
Again, unobtainium now...
