The heart of this is a sync chip. I'm wondering
if someone has any
ideas about perhaps using such to grab the video from IBM Mono, CGA,
EGA or the sun mono type video monitors to name a few.
I would love to be able to have a device which grabs these video
frames, and converts them for graphic display or capture, rather than
having to have a physical monitor around for each of these.
This is a fairly economical board, and would be easy to justify using
it with any system to convert the video, as well for a bench device.
Any suggestions for a way to convert these to VGA, or even better
where things seem to be going for DVI would be useful.

There is a company, Epiphan, that sells VGA2USB devices for just such a
thing. New, they are quite expensive, so I took a chance and purchased
a used one off ebay to see how it works. I also would like to capture
the video signal that is going to the monitor.
