True and to my knowledge there is no current product to allow 3D-LCS
glasses to be used with a MAC.

BUT  many years ago - maybe about 1990 - there was a homebrew design
available over the net which allowed 3D LCS glasses to be used on a
Mac.  It was a word document writing by, I think, a guy from Sweden
or maybe Finland.  Raiding my memory bank, the following
comes to mind:  "Juri Munki"   and the net address was something like
....ftp...hut.fi
The document described a circuit which plugged into the serial port
on the mac and drove a pair of 3D LCS glasses (at that time the
SEGA glasses were the most easily available).

I've been searching around my archives trying to find the files but
without luck so far.

Does anybody else remember this or even better have the documentation?

Re: interlacing on the Mac
 I don't think Macs produce interlaced video.
 You would probably need to use "page flipping" to display an alternate
 field/frame stereoscopic image for viewing with LCS glasses.
