Update 2008

In 2005 Adaptive Microsystems introduced the BetaBrite Prism display, which includes more

colors than the original BetaBrite, and a USB interface as well as the RS-232 serial port interface.

Sams Club sells the BetaBrite Prism, but it is a special model that has only the USB interface.

Also, neither display can be ordered directly from Adaptive Microsystems, but must be obtained

from one of the Adaptive Micosytems distributors, listed on their web site.
