The same company that made the video overlay board for the EGA is now
making a VGA board that outputs Composite Video suitable for recording
on a VCR, displaying on any monitor that will take NTSC as input.
They support all of the EGA/VGA modes that are possible to fit into
NTSC, such as 320x200x16, 640x{200,360,480}x16, 320x200x256, etc.
They will be showing at Comdex in Los Vegas starting Nov 13th.
