We purchased the TView Gold converter that outputs NTSC, VGA, S-Video, Composite on Ebay (new) for about 120.00 (it has a Mac RGB input and a remote). It's made by Focus (www.focusinfo.com) which makes all different versions (starting at $80 or so) - one that doesn't have all the variety of connections are of course cheaper and they have also have PC Card and PCI board versions too. I've used it on both MAC & PC powerbooks and desktops. Haven't used it much but it seems to work pretty good especially for the price. The other alternative, a higher-end scan convertor, is the way to go but they are very expensive. Hope this helps, Linda [EMAIL PROTECTED] << You're asking more of a general question about how to hook a Mac up to a television set. There are RGB->composite converters which most modern TVs and VCRs will accept directly, and if not, you can always connect a RF modulator up to that. The problem is that the converters are not that cheap. Fry's sells something like this for presentations, but it was a little more than I had in mind. >> -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
