Here's another pointless line of pursuit:  Why not use the DSP input port (and
whatever additional hardware is necessary) and appropriate software to emulate
a Macintosh display.  This way you could buy a display-less Macintosh LC when
they become available, slip it under your slab, connect its built-in video
port to the DSP port and bring up the MacOS on a virtual, configurable screen
built out of a NextStep window.  You'd only be able cut and paste bitmaps from
the Macintosh to the NeXT, but this seems simpler than full Mac emulation.

And of course with a color NeXTstation, you could emulate a color Mac display.
