I've been experimenting with my TV too, using some familiar looking output
channel on a hercules/cga card (one with a switch on it for mda/cga). It's
results always looked scrambled, and (of course) promised cga resolution if
it would ever get stable. Yet my Commodore 64 taught me what tv can do...
(and 64 kB too, for that matter).
What hardware is a vga to tv converter?
Bart?
