Hi Tim,
	I've created 3D stereo anims with imagine and the haitex.  
Needless to say it's a better 3D than colored glasses, and when you move 
objects around the screen the effect can be very impressive.  The only 
problem I had was that I could only use imagine to play the anims.  The 
default eye seperation settings are ok, so all you have to do is click on 
the 3d stereo button and then 'make' an animation.

I bought mine several years ago from an individual who posted a 'for 
sale' on the net. $60.  It's definately a keeper.  There's also at least 
one shareware and one commercial modeler that supports the glasses.
Maybe you could post a 'wanted' to a few newsgroups.  Good luck!
