Though I said I won't have time I found some.
I did the following:
Fix the hue problem of the "NTSC TV Emulation". I'm now confident with
it, so it will be set as default.
Redesigned the mode switching circuitry to be able to use the new mode
(and to save a chip)
Redesigned the video input to make it work more reliably
Finished the PCB design.
Designed an tested an adapter to fetch the required signals from the
AUX slot. The card can now run in any Slot in a //e, even in Slot 3
because it has no ROM (This won't work mechanically in an European //
e, however). The controlling software needs to be aware of the
location of the card, then.
Started writing sort of a manual.

Because I consider the design as somewhat final, I shot a variety of
different (game) screens, but my web server is still down, and
imageshack is down too, so these will be shown later...


I think I'll let Gold phoenix make the PCBs.
