The consensus is yes, the video board from the IPC should work fine in
the 5 (To quote on response: "Sbus is Sbus!"
As for running OW with multiple monitors:
$OPENWINHOME/bin/openwin -dev /dev/fb -dev /dev/cgsix1
Where /dev/fb is the default frame buffer and the /dev/cgsix1 is the
second card (although I believe this one is going to be a cgthree).
Thanks to all who responded.
