P3D canopus total-3d graphics cards

Hi All,

In my last post I asked whether anyone knew whether the new total-3d
card supported LCS glasses...  Unfortunately, I think the answer is NO.

I had a look at the canopus web site http://www.canopuscorp.com 
and determined the following:

The original card (called "Total-3D") supported hardware page flipping
  and had a jack for LCS glasses in the back.  Unfortunately, it appears
  Canopus no longer sell or manufacture this card.  :-(
The new card (called "Total-3D 128V") has a graphics accelerator, 
  video capture and NTSC/PAL video out.  It doesn't appear to support
  hardware page flipping and doesn't appear to have a jack for LCS glasses.
  mega :-(

So, it appears Canopus has got out of the stereoscopic imaging market.
Anyone care to comment?

I believe there are new cards available from other manufacturers which 
support hardware page flipping and also have the new VESA stereoscopic 
connector but I can't remember off hand what they are - anyone know?

Cheers,
Andrew Woods.
