Visual Technology 1703 Middlesex St. Lowell, MA 01851 (617) 459-4903 I saw a Visual Technology 640 XDS being installed yesterday and have seen/touched an NCD X-display. Both are quite nice. the NCD is 1024 X 1024 while the VT is 1024 X 800. The VT appears to be somewhat less expensive ($1995?) versus ($2550). When comparing, make sure you price with keyboards and mice! The VT runs out of PROM memory. I think the NCD downloads into RAM, but I'm not certain of that. Vint
