Dunno why I hadn't thought of this. It wouldn't be done that directly,
but if you or a friend can construct a simple circuit from breadboard
and components, I can draw a schematic for it. Should be pretty
inexpensive to build. Email a request and specify TXT, PKM(Grafx2), PCX,
BMP, or GIF(shhh!). The TXT version may be a little harder to
understand, as I'm anything but an ASCII artist.

Yep. And if you don't have an old supply lying around for this, Radio
Shack has the connectors if you know what you're looking for.
