From: bud on 3 Aug 2008 00:39 eBay seller yaton is now offering a 'RGBS to VGA' converter: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310071795151 Tho' less expensive than the Hauai board (which we _know_ can be hacked to use the intensity bit) I don't know that this is usable for our (C128) purposes. I had been thinking about buying another of his CV-04 CGA to composite/s-video converters just in case I needed a backup. Now I may get one of these instead. If anyone in the group has info, pro or con, on this board, I would appreciate reading it. TIA, & salaam, dowcom To e-mail me, add the character zero to "dowcom". i.e.: dowcom(zero)(at)webtv(dot)net. -- http://community.webtv.net/dowcom/DOWCOMSAMSTRADGUIDE MSWindows is television, Linux is radar.

Agreed. I will send him a question on eBay to see if there's technical docs on the web anywhere.
