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?
I don't know about that, but for a short while, I was running a C-128
into my PowerMac 6500's composite input and viewing the screen inside the
PowerMac. I can't speak for how well this would work long term, as I only
did it long enough to test the C-128 (only a few hours over the course of
about a week).
I got the idea, I thought from this list a number of years ago.

I've done this briefly with my PowerMac 8500 back around 1997, which was
where I came up with the idea. The 8500 has the advantage of being able to
handle both NTSC and PAL signals (not sure what other Mac's succh as yours
can handle).
