About a week ago, I requested info on VGA--> composite video cards. Here's what I've got so far: 1. IEV corp. Salt Lake City, UT 801/466-9093 VGA Broadcaster board does VGA--> composite. $695. They also make some similar boards for NTSC/RS-170, S-video & RGB/synch RS-170. 2. Avacado computer. Silver Spring, MD 301/593-5586 VGA-TV card can do composite output for the various video modes. 64 shade gray scale or 256 color. 256K mem std, expandable to 512K for $61. Base cost of card was quoted to me on the phone as $499 but is listed as $699; they offer a 5% education discount. 3. Video Associates Labs Austin, TX 512/346-5781 Microkey/A card: A rather sophisticated card which can handle up to superVGA (1024 x 768). Of course composite video can't handle anything more than normal VGA, at least as far as I know. The card also has audio capabilities whereby it can record and play digitized signals to and from the hard drive. The card is priced at $1495. Talk to Carrie Cavanaugh and she'll brighten your day. Thanks to those who replied. Mike
