Uhm, can the Creator 3D drive normal digital flat panel displays?  I think
what is needed is a DVI port.  If it can, there is a box that allows you
to hook DVI cards to the 1600SW.  Previously, it only worked with a
special #9 card, but when #9 died, I guess they felt a need to be a touch
more open.
