I worked on one of these, this was a nice machine. Unix was a little weird, but the graphics subsystem was very impressive for the time, almost on par with SGI's offering.

Yes, from available sources, 3D hardware on DN10000VS was also state-of-the-art, capable of texture mapping, antialiasing and depth buffer. Some additional info for those who are interested https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/97879.97912

Fascinating to see real users in the comments, you're very welcome to share any experience you had with a machine :-)
