- Hi folks!
- Now here is the ONLY answer I got.
- so THANK YOU George Ludwig AGAIN!
- Here's what he wrote:

-
- As has been posted, you can get the Toshiba glasses from Real 3-D.
- They are definately compatible with the Sega glasses. However, when
- you buy the Sega glasses you get the interface card which is what
- people usually hack to make the interface to the PC (or whatever). The
- Toshiba glasses do not come with an interface, but if you have a Sega
- compatible interface the Toshiba glasses plug right into it, no
- adapter required or anything. If the PGSI ever materializes (jab jab
- Mr. Brain) the Toshiba glasses should plug right in.
-
- The Toshiba glasses are of clearly higher quality construction. My
- Sega glasses frame broke when dropped from 3 feet onto a carpeted
- floor. This would be extremely unlikely with the Toshiba glasses. The
- image quality of the Toshiba glasses is not, IMHO, much (any) better
- than the image quality of the Sega unit. The glasses do not go even
- close to entirely opaque.
-
- In any event, I highly reccomend the Toshiba glasses. They are cool
- matte black finish and fairly durable. They look more like tools than
- the Sega glasses which all too clearly resemble what they are...kid's
- toys.
-
- BTW, the cost from Real 3-d including shipping was like $80.
