I've had luck with converting the RGB to VGA and

expensive))
Not cheap, but when it needs to be done, it needs to be done.
converters.tv does have a CGA to NTSC converter that they are offering
for 110 AUD (~$100 US)
(http://www.converters.tv/signals/cga_to_ntsc.html)
Unfortunately both the converters.tv units ignore the "intensity" pin of
CGA, which means that only 8 of the 16 colors can be displayed from an
IBM CGA card. :-( This is the bit (pun intended) missing from all
converters I've come across, unfortunately.
