I've been giving some serious thought about
breaking out either one of my
Apple //'s, C-64's, or maybe even the Amiga 500, as I feel like playing
some
old games.
These days I don't really have the space to set one (or all) up. Then I
had
an idea on how to save some space. All three of these systems were
intended
to plug into a monitor that was basically a TV.
Has anyone tried to plug an old Home computer into an Analog to Digital TV
converter such as the Canopus ADVC-100, and then use a mondern computer
with a Firewire port and video capture software as a monitor?
Alternatively, would an Apple // work with a Commodore 2002 monitor?

Here's what happens when you have too much time on your hands to implement
the "crazy" ideas.

I've swapped out several of the systems and rearranged it a bit since the
photo was taken but it's still a quick way to get a vintage computing fix.
