320x240 is the QVGA unit that is most likely used in the spy car. It would
take RS-170 black and white input, just composite out of your system in
color is fine too and it just goes greyscale. You will need a scan converter
or built in composite output on your system. Windows does not run in 320x240
but there were programs for 98 that would lower it that much. Windows Mobile
runs in that natively, it is what many handhelds run. Linux can do it in
console mode. Lots of talk of how to use a system at that resolution from
1997-1999 in the archives.

of course the $150 you spend on the car is just that much more the iCuiti
monocle will cost in the end...

I would want to end up with a monocular display. It seems that the binocular cyberdisplay modules aren't the best choice for monocular display. The monocular iCuti isn't that expencive. I may just break down and buy one once I can afford it. Although a home built or home hacked display does add some nice geek factor to a wearable. The spy car might be a fun
