Those links are already included in my hacks page, my FAQing is done :-P

I also have some information written down that I've compiled on different
options for trying the covert hack.  The lighting for the field sequential
bit makes things a lot harder to deal with.  Not being able to reverse the
LCD like alot of the M1 hacks also makes it a bit rough.  And the larger
size of the LCD circuitboard is the last big catch for trying to go
covert.  I DO believe it's possible, but it's gonna be really tough.  Add
in that I need my prescription glasses to fit under the screen somehow and
I have a lot of headaches over the Cy-visor.  I still love the resolution
on it though! 

there are a few preliminary optics links up at 

http://dunx1.irt.drexel.edu/~jed22/cyvisor/covert.html

not much there but it's some of the musings I've had.  When I have more
time to work on the cy covert hack, this is probably where I'll be keeping
any notes I take.
