Preface
The VAXstation 2000 4-plane graphics coprocessor provides a 4-plane video
Subsystem for the VAXstation 2000 System. This guide is intended for
users who are upgrading their VAXstation 2000 System to support a 4-plane
graphics System with a monochrome monitor. If you have a color monitor,
see the documentation packaged with the color monitor.

This guide describes the 4-plane graphics coprocessor and gives some

diagnostic Information on this Option. It also describes how to install the color
cable that is needed to use a monochrome monitor for gray-scale display.
The VAXstation 2000 4-plane graphics coprocessor is installed by a DIGITAL
