Better yet, why not get the files from where I keep them, so you'll
always get the latest version. The main archive site for the Sega 3D
files is at vega.hut.fi and the files are in pub/mac/finnish/sega3d

Most of the files are for the Macintosh, but there are text versions
and even one GIF picture with the circuit description. The plans are
very easy to adapt to almost any application and I see no reason why
the circuit couldn't be made to emulate the much more expensive
StereoGraphics CrystalEyes (except that the shutters might not be
fast enough for 120 Hz).
