I'm jumping in late in the game here, but can't you just unplug the USB
interface from a ColorSync monitor thereby disabling the software
calibration engine and then calibrate as normal with your calibration tool
(OptiCal, etc.)?
I think you probably could but I have had some good results by
following the Color Vision folks' suggestions.
My take on it is that the ColorSync monitors calibrate themselves
pretty well they just don't build good profiles of themselves. I
struggled with quite a few of them until I figured this out.
So if you let the monitor calibrate itself and then use a quality
instrument to profile it you get a good result. The benefit is you
have a self-calibrating device that will keep itself in check longer
than a normal monitor and will require reprofiling less often. If
only printers would do this too!
