I'm betting that it goes to an Apple Powerbook - that's what the Hosiden 
tells me.  I'm betting that if it's 10" it matches something like my 
540C screen in which case it should be E-Bayable easily as people are 
always looking for parts for that 'book.  I'll check tonight and get 
back to you.

Anybody know where a good place to get specs on this stuff?  I've got a 
few passive-matrix screens from old Toshiba notebooks that would make 
good digital picture frames or small (9") monitors.  I've done web 
searches and found very little.

  Definitely not.  E-Bay. ;-)
