A video card that precisely echoed Apple II video modes on a VGA
monitor would apparently have a lot of people's interest.
Sharp 80-column text on an NTSC color monitor is not possible,
because of the design of the monitor video circuits. The only
"exception" is the AppleColor Composite display, which has
unique circuitry for switching out the chroma filters when it
detects the absence of a color burst.
