It's on sunsite, but it's also at
ftp://dwmw2.robinson.cam.ac.uk/pub/kernel/mda-0.11.tar.gz
You can only redirect output to it (/dev/mono) but I'm working on a driver
which will allow you to use a PS/2 keyboard in the mouse port, to give the mono
screen a matching keyboard. Any more than that and you're asking for GGI,
really.
There's a patch included for 2.1.x which allows the MDA screen to be registered
as a console device, so that oops messages etc. will appear on it. Very useful
if you're running an X server when your machine dies.
I have had getty running on the mono screen, with tty1-3 on the VGA and 4-6
on the mono. If you want that, go for GGI.
