I remain nailed skeptical about products that are told to defy the known limits of established hardware (as in: "the ES133TT3 can update its dots 8 times per second but in our product it's much more" - much more information is needed).

I also have very little time at the moment, but I would like to re-attempt VNC on the Max2 with a few more tricks and see where it brings. I have faith it will not be bad.
Of course, expecting LCD-like results on current EPD is something that only the youngest would do.

I was so intrigued at the time, and the reported results still look somehow interesting. I am still uncertain about the factors that killed it.
AAH! AH! AAA!, emotion. I just found out that Mary Lou Jepsen «has been a professor at MIT». Some things make sensitive people like yours truly tick.

She built a business to develop new screen architectures ready for mass production with less than a year of development time (display innovation typically takes a decade or more to reach fruition). Pixel Qi technology shipped several million units with >10x lower power consumption and sunlight readability while preserving color, video and image quality.

but still it is not clear why those million units remained a niche instead of opening a way.
Interesting info comes from Michael Kozlowski: after MLJ left, and big contracts (the military) were failed to be signed, the original factory denied availability of production for small amounts.
