I was going to post this earlier, but it took me a little while to find the
spec sheet. And as this is the second time I've heard this request, I'm 
posting it to the net (sorry about the bandwidth).

Dukane Corp. (2900 Dukane Drive, St. Charles, IL 60174, 1-800-356-6540) has
3 versions of what you've requested. These are LCD devices which require some
form of backlighting; ie. overhead projection. They are as follows:

	MagniView 200:	Apple II, II+, IIc, IIe, IIgs, and IBM CGA compat.
			Resolution of 640 x 200

	MagniView 400:	IBM CGA or EGA, ATT 6300, 7300, and Olivetti M24
			Resolution 640 x 400

	MagniView 342:	Macintosh 128, Mac+, Mac 512, and Mac SE
			Resolution 512 x 342

Unfortunately the spiffy product brochure I got from Dukane (Unsolicited)
just mentions that these are under $1000 each, and special cables may be
required. they also mention various power transformers for international
use.
