The cgp-220 is a canon-pj1080a clone.  Even looks pretty much identical.

Whatever the 1080a looks like, I expect the cgp-220 is identical.

Been discontinued a long time.  Unlikely.

It does use a different ROM set so you need a cgp-220 driver.  At one time
I heard you could order a new 1080 ROM set from Canon and install it which
might be a smart idea.  I don't remember where I heard it so I can't give
any more info.
