But then, how do I extract the VGA signal to get it to the VGA input of the LCD? That's where it's fuzzy to me. Are you saying it's easier to use an LCD PDS card and then run the cable outside the case to the card? That solution lacks elegance. There must be a reasonably simple way to pull the VGA signal off the motherboard and using onboard video.
I've never tried to get VGA from anything but a beige G3 l/b - and Taco is awaiting me fiddling with a custom VGA cable that will avoid me taking the cable outside the machine!
Electronically, a PDS video card would do that, but has the aesthetic issue which you rightly raise.
One alternative for Mystics might be the Power_R_Presenter which clips onto the graphics chip on a 575 l/b. I actually have one (somewhere!), but never got round to trying it. There happens to be one on eBay at the moment, with a nice photo at:

I'v always thought that this might be a neat approach to a Mystic/LCD CC.
