no problem man!

if you don't mind spending $2000, you can get the combined
RasterOps "SPARC Card TC/S" + "Video Expander II NTSC" from sunexpress
(actually just UNDER $2000, I believe. you must have an "S-Bus" slot)

call 1 800 use-sun-X


Sun also has a REALLY NIFTY overhead display thingamajig that you hook up
to your sparc.. it's like another frame buffer.. it displays a screen on
the wall or whatever.. but you can use a LASER POINTER with it, just like
a mouse!! (on the wall!)

I have not seen this in the sunexpress catalog, but it was demo'd here at
UC Santa Cruz a few months ago.
