Several people have expressed interest in an overhead projector for the
Macintosh. Roger Whitney (sdsu!whitney@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu) previously posted
information he found in Info World (9/14/87) about a device to interface
between a Mac and a Sharp QA-25 LCD overhead projector display. However,
the phone number Roger passed along got me nowhere. I have finally chased
this down. It seems that the device has passed from Standard Memories,
mentioned in the Info World article, to N2 Products, to Turnkey Products.
I spoke to Rod Curry at Turnkey Products, 619/241-0777, in Victorville,
CA. Rod says that the device sells for $950 ($779.20 to universities and
military), is pretty much built on order, and can be delivered in 6-8 weeks.
He is sending me literature on it. I presume other inquires would be
welcome. (Roger, thanks for the lead. I would never have found this
without your help.)

Here is a followup on the article (below) that I posted earlier. I am
repeating it here so that all the information will be together. Apologies
to those whose bandwidth may be strained.

The device is called Mac Video Converter MVC 2010. It interfaces between
Mac, Mac 512K, and Mac+ models, and "a wide variety of video devices,
including low cost video equipment, existing video systems, projection
Television sets, IBM type CGA/EGA monitors, overhead projectors using LCD
graphic display devices as well as high quality video monitors."
There is an internal adapter to be installed inside the Mac, and a separate
device designed to fit "conveniently" under the Mac.
"An internal board configured to the Mac SE is SOON TO BE AVAILABLE."
