So, the upshot of all of this seems to be: don't hold your breath. I agree
with the assessment made earlier about color, however, that taking a composite
output to an overhead or separate monitor would probably do fine. The LCD
screen I need for my work only needs to be monochrome, albeit pretty good
resolution for large Workbench screens.
I know it's feasible: at one of the old shows several years back, I saw someone
with a homemade LCD hooked into a 500 (!). In a nice wooden box, yet 🙂 He
said he'd strung it together for fun and was trying to convince his company
that it was a worthwhile thing to market. They weren't biting. Doesn't sound
like much is chang- ing.
Ah well. I got a look at a friend's 600 the other day, and it sure looks cute.
It's just begging for a little 9" foldup display.
