     Quite a few users have experimented with Second Sight in order to add
VGA-class displays. There has also been talk about adding PC Slots to the
GS so that we could use SVGA boards, 32-bit sound cards, etc..

     Which is simpler and cheaper: designing and building a new box with
PCI Slots and controller (and adding the plug-in cards); or, just having
the GS take control of an existing PC or Power-Mac?
