I can't speak to how well it works; I know that various LCD TVs I've
used really don't like the composite signal coming from the Apple ][
or the NES; it's probably slightly off spec, and the sloppy, cheap
analog control loops in old tube TVs handled it fine, but the digital
sync detector barfs on it. That's my working theory, anyway.
I'd love to make something with a high-speed ADC and an FPGA going
to VGA/DVI/HDMI to do the job correctly for vintage electronics
which may not have the cleanest signals, but that job requires a
large quantity of round tuits, which seem to be in short supply.

There seems to be a lot of C64 music-related
hardware stuff people are
cooking up.
There's the (preassembled) MSSIAH cart that turns a C64 into a
midi-controlled synth module, also available from the site is a SID2SID
circuit board kit that lets you add a second SID chip to a C64.

That's cool! I knew about PROPHET64, but not MSSIAH. Someone should
maintain a list of all these great projects!
Has anyone created anything to allow us to plug things like a
Commodore 64 or Apple ][e into a modern LCD monitor?
