I have a hard time finding them around here, and I'm not willing to pay
eBay-average shipping prices for one.  But my real interest is in getting
the RGB out to display on a 17" monitor.  DOTW and Wolf 3D would, as the
kids used to say, "rock out".

Yes, enough cards, but to compare 7 MHz versus 50 MHz?  I know which one I'd
prefer...

That's a shame, and more so that he's not willing to settle on using a CRT
display.  I'm sure it would look better if he removed the LCD's A/D
converter from the mix.  I still want to try hacking an Amiga-platform
Toastscan for the IIgs:
