And one of the most interesting things about the PA-RISC based HP-9000 712 series is its Color Recovery system (allowing approximated 24-bit color from an 8-bit framebuffer -- which is effective and fascinating) and also, for me, the fact that it runs NEXTSTEP.
It's my fastest NEXTSTEP machine.

A rough look at HP Color Recovery -- just a camera held up to an LCD on a HP 712/100. Loose, but gives some idea of 24-bit color from 8-bits, sans dithering.
