This is NOT a deinterlacer.  It sounds like an RGB to composite converter,
with a slightly modified 1901 (to get it to display interlaced screens
correctly).  If you have a monochrome monitor with a long-persistance
phosphor, and an Amiga with composite output, you already have all the
"de-interlacer" you'll ever need.  It's the persistance that's eliminating
the flicker, not the interface.
