well only vaporware to those who have not seen it.. I've seen one (in
development, but it was a Second Sight)


Lessee.. supports all Apple II and IIGS text and graphics modes
        1024 X 768 resolution
        512K on board ram (expandable to 1meg)
        on board 20MHZ microprocessor
        includes display software for GIF, TIFF, JPEG, BMP etc images
        has optional Kodak Photo CD support

        supports any VGA (with these numbers I'd say SVGA) display.
