because there's no reason to. The earlier multisyncs
went down to 15.75khz. I wasn't suggesting it wouldn't
be a sizeable job. Might not be practical, who knows.
It would just be nice to have a way of producing an
output from a vintage puter in the absence of anything
older, and larger (19"+).
Aren't there relatively inexpensive scan converters these days?
Iv'e used a few, input VGA output TV, nasty-looking chinese-made
boxes for $80 or so. Fancy ones do buffering and complex
conversions, but shouldn't be needed here. I too have a bias
towards home-brew but there's times when forking over cash solves
the problem instanter.
