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. -- Michael J. Farren | "INVESTIGATE your point of view, don't just {ucbvax, uunet, hoptoad}! | dogmatize it!
