That may be, but keep in mind that both of those systems generate a more-or-less conventional NTSC color output. The Apple 2 series are a whole different ballgame.

Let's see.

I agree. Will be interested to know if it can handle the aliasing properly now. Mine sure as heck cannot.

So this year I found another solution, actually found it on an Amiga forum,
they recommended the GBS-8220. I just ordered it from Jamma Boards for
$40, which is less than half of the Ambery box. I will post pictures of
this unit when I get it. I'm hoping the Finder artifacts will be
resolved!

YMMV, but I have one of those and it doesn't work as well as you might hope
on a IIgs.

The Highway 100 / CYP CM-345S is the only converter I've personally used
that displays the Finder free of artifacts. I bought one of these from
Converters.tv in Oz at full ticket (ouch), then was lucky enough to find a
second CYP-branded unit on eBay for < $100 US (never be without a spare).

They also do a bang-up job on Amiga video.
