Re: IIgs out to VGA or separate component RCA output?

What are the options for using a IIgs with a TV supporting separate-

What cards are in development or on the horizon for IIgs output to VGA
monitors?

Is there any way to split the signal coming out of the IIgs Composite-
out jack so that it displays better on a TV supporting separate-
component (rather than just composite) jacks?


There have been several extensive threads on the topic of VGA display
and HDTV display of IIgs video--for those, search Google Groups.

Short answer to your last question:  If you apply the composite output
to both the luminance and chrominance inputs of an S-Video input to your
TV, you may see considerable improvement in luminance sharpness--maybe
even enough to make 80-columns OK.

There are passive composite-to-S-Video adapters available for this
purpose.
