Rom 01's have a VGC but it's socketed.  It would be tough (but not
impossible) to have a cost effective internal implementation that works
on both.  The problem's scope is that there are approximately 3x as
many ROM 01 machines out there as ROM 03's.

So that would argue for tapping into the RGB lines *after* the DAC
(which I think was your point).

It's a minor input fiddle to deal with "digital RGB" or "analog RGB"
inputs.  Sync would be needed, of course, and the 14MHz dot clock.
That should be enough to do the job perfectly.

The problem seems to be that the ICs available don't have an easy
way to provide an external dot clock (since, after all, VGA does
have some standard dot clock rates for various resolutions).
