    I happened to stray across that scanned ad online, it isn't mine.
However, doing a search on Google Groups, it looks like you'll
find a copy of it in the March 1986 issue of A+ magazine.

    I'd be interested in seeing one too, however I'm betting other
than a couple of prototypes, this product never saw production.    

    I have 2 C-Vue LCD displays for my Apple IIc's. Anyone want
trade one for an Apple LCD? :)
