I stumbled upon an 8M Matrox Millenium II for $62 last year. Snapped it 
up. And also snapped up a used 4M card locally for $25 (all gone now).

Its not that hard. "man twm" and search for focus. I find "less" from 
the ports is A Real Good Thing To Have, especially when reading man

then your searches will highlight the hits, the top hit on line 5.
