I saw PAWS when they were first out at a show in California.

Unfortunately, another Amiga curse story - the person who developed it, Shawn Randolph, is local to me.

The LCD was not a hack, it was driven by a custom designed scan doubler/deinterlacer, the Gecko. So, the info below is bunk:

 He built a number of PAWS units, and loaned them to retailers and distributors to demo so they could take orders. Unfortunately, most of them sold the units, which were not theirs to begin with, and pocketed the money. So, almost all PAWS units out there are stolen. Someone on here could provide much more info ...
