Just to emphasize a point:

"...the video adapter supplies monochrome images to the Apple High-Resolution
			       ^^^^^^^^^^
RGB Monitor..."

(Quoted from the Macintosh Portable Video Adapter spec sheet.)

Apple hasn't announced price or availability for the adapter yet.

I understand that Kodak is/has developed a version of the DataShow
that plugs directly into the Portable (doesn't require the video adapter).
