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!
Yeah... btw, it looks like for Taco you got a really good fit for that screen. Where did you get it, and how much did it cost?
Screen on eBay - very cheap; interface boards from Digital View- horrendously expensive!
probably not, but we're not into leading edge speed expectations, are we? ;-)
Electronically, a PDS video card would do that, but has the aesthetic issue which you rightly raise.
Yeah, and I wonder if the speed of any LC PDS video card could match the speed of 1MB of on-board Mystic video.
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.
Oh, excellent... ok I got that. Now I'll also need to do the VGA mod to make the motherboard output a 60Hz 640x480 signal, right?
My dream may yet come to fruition... A 33Mhz 68040 Color Classic with 128MB of RAM and 1MB VRAM for true color internal 640x480 video, and maybe even dual ethernet.
Why dual?
