Yo people:
Following Warren DeLano's recommendations at pymol.org/zalman, I got a
Zalman monitor for about $US 300, which, in California dollars, is
about a week's worth of groceries at our local rat-infested Safeway.
The latest PyMOL and Coot both work great in stereo. I would go so far
as to say these look as good as they did on my ca. $12K (1999 dollars)
SGI R10000s with Sony trinatron monitors, which I finally got rid of
earlier this year. Also, the quality of the migraine these induce
seems to be a bit more tolerable.
I found it worked fine with a Mac mini (the one my kids have connected
to a TV to watch old Flintstones episodes), and also my wife's first
generation iBook, the latter of which has no separate graphics card.
So if you set it up with a mini, you can have a dedicated
stereographics workstation with a reasonable quality monitor for under
$1K (or just have a monitor and have your users bring their own laptop
and a DVI connector.
It comes with DVI and VGA cables, and 1 pair of normal and one pair of
clip-on circularly polarized glasses, and enough styrofoam packing to
get rid of the last remaining wisps of an evanescent ozone layer.
Thanks to Paul (and Warren) for implementing this.
