So many cooks ;-)

It's more than just a bit of added circuitry to drive an outboard monitor.  
ALL of the display control software in the Orion would have to be 
rewritten to properly designate and format the color, etc -- e.g., it would 
be as if the Orion did have a color display, even though it doesn't.   It's 
not a minor little task or a small added circuit card to drive an external 
monitor port.

I'm amazed this whole color thing just won't die.. :-)
