HP Envizex X terminal

1MB video RAM (1024x768 max) and 12 MB base memory.

Finally got it working... boots via tftp.

final 2 straws were

inserting a 10baseT hub between it and the 100baseT wall. Thanks to http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0x30afe7613948d5118fef0090279cd0f9,00.html

NCD Explora XA

a.k.a. NCD Xplora

This one also has 1MB video RAM (1024x768 max) and 12 MB base memory.
instead of a floppy drive, it a PCMCIA card socket (unfortunately proprietary)
PS2 mouse and keyboard jacks are on the side
Boot Monitor V2.8.2

Problems:

for some reason, if I use DHCP, it wants to use the DHCP server as its primary TFTP host.
But the DHCP server is an NT box

Made an entry in /etc/ethers and tried RARP ... loaded Xncdxpl ... xset -display xterm1:0 +fp tcp/seven:7100 sometimes needed

HP Entria II

This is the nicest yet.

Config was a breeze: d/l sw de HP, install, boots zippy from NFS.

Theoretically it can do all sorts of resolutions. But I can't get it to do more than 1024x768 yet. Tried on ViewSonic? 21PS, on which I do 1152 x 882 @ 72 hz from my PC all the time.

Here's some math trivia:

 wide x hi  = pixels
 1024 x 768 =   786,432
 1152 x 882 = 1,016,064 (72 hz)
 1152 x 900 = 1,036,800 (75 hz)

It came with 24 MB RAM (16+8), and I had an extra 16 MB DIMM sitting around, so easily upgraded it to 40 MB total.
