Is there any cost effective solution for displaying Sun monochrome output
in a classroom? I have been told that the projectors that can do this are
in the $10K+ class, and I am looking for a <$3K solution.

I know there are LCD panels that will work with the MacII for about $1800,
and monochrome projectors at about $3K.

If nothing else I guess we could live with using a MacII running X or NeWS
(under A/UX) as a display (and projection) server for our Suns.  When
Sunview2 emerges for X11/NeWS that will be less limiting than it now is.
(We already have the MacII-A/UX, that doesn't count in our cost).

Still, if there is a low cost solution for displaying a Sun directly I
would like to know about it.
