Some possibilites are :

* Using a simple COMPOSITE ->  VGA box, not so good image.

* The same converter but with the "help" of:

Using it with the S-VIDEO port, maybe the easier and cheap method if you dont
need/looking for an awesome image.

Problem is, most converters have serious problems reproducing the Apple IIGS
video signal.  It's been discussed to death in this group over the years.

I brought up the Highway/CYP unit because I _know_ from my experience and
others here that it works quite well.

The only downside to the highway/cyp unit appears to be the cost.....
on average around $180 USD.

Yup, there is that.  But, FWIW, I picked up my second one on eBay for about $95.

Remember what those AppleColor monitors cost new? And that was back when $400 was REAL money :-)
