A couple of months ago, someone announced a cable product called the
Video Turtle which bridged GS RGB out with S-Video.  The GS RGB signal
is identical to S-Video and greatly superior to NTSC composite.  Do a
search for Video Turtle on Deja News.

Does anyone know how to do the reverse?  Connect S-Video out with the
GS RGB monitor input?  I want to attempt to connect a GS RGB monitor
to a VGA/SVGA signal via a television scan converter for the PC.  I've
seen it done and the results are impressive, but I'd like to try it
myself and impress PC owners with the brilliant GS monitor colors (the
GS monitor has sucky resolution, but great color).
