I have not seen a commercial one, but I _have_ built one.  If there is
sufficiant interest, I would be willing to post the schematic.  I have had this
little guy connected to my Apple II+ for...hmmm...about 8 years I think.  It is
not perfect and could use improvement, but for many games it works just spiffy
(especially Castle Wolfenstien (et al) and Karateka ;-)
