Theoretical question for people:

A number of companies have anounced SCSI displays for the mac portables which
connect to the SCSI interface and run quickdraw.

Would it be posible to build a Display PostScript device that does this?  ie one
which you connect to your SCSI port and send DPS commands to.

Why do this? - three reasons...One it would allow current users to go double
(triple?) headed relativly easily.  Secondly it would alow a cheep up grade from
mono to colour...Just plug in a colour SCSI screen.  (PS...any one heard anything
about a upgrade policy for the stations?).  Thirdly, if and when NeXT launches a
portable/lugable version of the machine this would provide a simple way to conect
a large screen when not on the move.

So any comments/thoughts?

john.
