Hmmm...
If the input to the converter is a 4-bit TTL level thing, that as far as
I can see no external circuit could correct the 'brwon problem'. After
all, all 16 possible states of the 4 lines are used.
However, other messages make be think that the input to the coverter is
actually analogue RGB at TV rates. The sort of thing you get out of a
(UK) DVD player, for example. In which case I can see the need for an
interface to conenct it to a 4-bit RGBI connector (at the same scan
rates).
But I wouldn't call an analouge RGB inteface 'CGA'.

Just
picked up a Wei-Ya ACV-011 CGA --> VGA converter board with the
intention of using it with a Commodore 128 (and possibly Amiga). It
doesn't have a true TTL input, but there is a C128 enthusiast out there
who published a small circuit to do the RGBI --> CGA interface.
Err, what is a 'CGA Interface' if not a TTL-level RGBI one?
