Re: [Ql-Users] QL-VGA
I have two questions 1) When can I buy one? 2) What are the advantages over an RGB/CGA/EGA to HDMI converter?

Maybe in a few months if all goes well. > 2) What are the advantages over an RGB/CGA/EGA to HDMI converter? That is was designed exclusively with the QL in mind and it just works. If you already have a converter that works for you, you probably don't need QL-VGA. Marcel ___ QL-Users Mailing List
