As Robert Jung (rjung@castor.usc.edu) said, there should be little trouble
for the software.  A few pokes for the display list and a poke to the PIA
chip.
	Of course, any program you were running would be a tad slow 
considering the extra work you would need to display 3D (even fake 3D
like in 3D comics).  I think the big hurdle would be the glasses and the
attendant hardware.
	How much would the circuitry cost, and where would you get it
from?  Would you rip up a Sega 3D thingie?
