It's best left asked in Sable -- we have administrative and
organizational structures that typically prevent DIGITAL from
officially supporting graphics in a server, though there is
often no reason -- other than pricing or politics -- not to
do so.
Rather than asking "PowerStorm", you might want to mention
which PowerStorm controller(s) are of interest -- most (all?)
of the low-to-mid-range video controllers, up through the 3D30
(TGA2; PBXGB-AA) series, have been discontinued.

| The 3D30 has not been discontinued -- neither has the 4D20
(also TGA2-based).
The 4D40T, 4D50T and 4D60T won't work in a 2100 -- I believe
that there are both electrical and mechanical issues.

| Some activities are in progress to support (certain) graphics on
(certain) servers. Contact Ron Pacheco if there are specific business
opportunities you are looking at.
If this is a general technical question, you need to provide additional
information on the specific graphics option (PowerStorm covers 3
different graphics hardware architectures), specific platform,
operating system and target applications.
