No, I was referring to a more finished unit that Highway makes.  It's an RGB 
to XGA converter that sells for considerably more.  For starters, it's not a 
bare board, but comes in a nice case with external power supply and input 
connectors.

I'm just wondering if this unit (1/2 the price) is functionally equivalent. 
Couldn't give a rat's ass about appearance and I'm perfectly capable of 
mounting it in a project box.
