No Swindle...the original stuff I tested was with the setup sold by StereoGraphics. This works fine.
The Nuvision stuff also works...but they do not have a VGA pass through working for Macs...only for standard 3-Pin. The dongle supplied by Stereographics does work with the Nuvison equipment....yes much less expensive. The problem is wiring up the correct pin configuration dongle that will allow the Mac to work.
The graphics card is the standard internal PowerBook card: ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with 64MB of DDR SDRAM. The monitor was an off the shelf...capable of doing 120 MHz.
The setup was straightforward with the StereoGraphics Corp. E2Mac Emittor: http://www.stereographics.com/products/crystaleyes workstation/indexmac.html using an external monitor.
There are details on setup on their pages...the only issue is pricing for their equipment.
Initial Testing was done with StereoGlut from Apple, building the executable according to the directions using Project Builder from the Developer Tools: http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/ Graphics_3D/GLUTStereo.htm
This little app has the ability to throw the display into full screen mode and blue line. It has a 3-D model that if your setup is working correctly will look pretty cool.
I've been able to get stereo to work with pymol using the StereoGraphics setup and the Stereo Enhanced Version of Pymol; I was using a beta version of Pymol. Version 0.88 now has stereo support (but I have not tried this version).
NuVision does not at the present time have a pass through that works correctly....I did get their emittor to work using the StereoGraphics pass through.
All of the work was done on a 1 GHz PowerBook with external CRT that can do above 100 MHz.
For Pymol and other programs to work they have to have the capability to put the system into Full Screen mode (with Blue line windowing does not work).

Pymol performed great under this setup.
