Thanks - that card looks like it would do the job. I notice that it even has a DVI output, though that one provides 24 bit output only up to 1280x1024. That got me looking at the rest of the XVR series. (I didn't realize you could get DVI for Suns).

The XVR-500 will do 1600x1200x24, but only with a 15 pin analog connector.
Then I found that the XVR-600 will also do 1600x1200x24 but has a DVI connector

I found a reference to it here XVR-600 - Everything2.com.that claims that "[it] works, though with degraded performance, in the Ultra 10." though they don't explain what they mean by "degraded performance".

Even the XVR-600 is pretty cheap these days, so what say you? An XVR-100 for 1600x1200x24 analog or the 600 with digital? Any reason not to go that route?

pbmtoascii

pbmtoascii(1)                                                 General Commands Manual                                                pbmtoascii(1)

NAME

       pbmtoascii - convert a portable bitmap into ASCII graphics

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtoascii [-1x2|-2x4] [pbmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a portable bitmap as input.  Produces a somewhat crude ASCII graphic as output.

       Note that there is no asciitopbm tool - this transformation is one-way.

OPTIONS

       The -1x2 and -2x4 flags give you two alternate ways for the bits to get mapped to characters.  With 1x2, the default, each character repre-
       sents a group of 1 bit across by 2 bits down.  With -2x4, each character represents 2 bits across by 4 bits down.  With the  1x2  mode  you
       can  see the individual bits, so it's useful for previewing small bitmaps on a non-graphics terminal.  The 2x4 mode lets you display larger
       bitmaps on a standard 80-column display, but it obscures bit-level details.  2x4 mode is also good  for  displaying  graymaps  -  "pnmscale
       -width 158 | pgmnorm | pgmtopbm -thresh" should give good results.
