Hi Bill,
Today I built an adapter that translates USB keyboard and mouse to PS/2
signals.

It works great!
Great to hear :-)
From another thread on another forum, here are some suggestions for VGA
to HDMI converters:
- the current best choice might be the OSSC (open source scan
converter) device for somewhat above 100 Euro:
https://videogameperfection.com/products/open-source-scan-converter/
The OSSC converts SCART, component and VGA to DVI and HDMI, with some
choices in scaling style (scanlines, rectangular pixels, etc.) and you
can add audio from the OSSC audio jack input to your HDMI signal. See
also https://www.retrorgb.com/ossc.html
- "Foinnex VGA adapter cable" to convert VGA to HDMI up to 1080p, code
X000PPZ323 and probably quite affordable
- ATEN.com VC180 VGA and audio jack to HDMI converter with audio, up
to 1080p, price unknown, but exists since at least 2014
- the future https://oummg.com/ CRT Terminator which is an 8-bit ISA
card which connects to your VGA card internally, via the feature
connector, to add DVI-D output to it for further conversion, such as
USB3HDCAP bridging mentioned below, planned to be available for around
200 Euro
Projects and devices with a focus on old game consoles:
- there is a DIY Raspberry Pi based project called RGBtoHDMI:
https://github.com/hoglet67/RGBtoHDMI
- Ligawo scaler from SCART (with RGB), composite or S-VHS to HDMI,
various models, below 100 Euro and it might be feasible or even easy to
convert VGA to SCART-RGB?
- XRGB mini Framemeister by Micomsoft with composite, JP21-SCART, RGB,
HDMI, ... inputs, apparently. 300 Euro, specializes on retro looks with
square pixels and scanlines and similar
You could also use another PC as a bridge:
- any PCI or PCIe framegrabber with VGA input
- StarTech USB3HDCAP video grabber for PC with USB3, inputs include
DVI (see above), HDMI, component, composite 210 Euro
Regards, Eric
