I found tons of info at the AverLogic website... datasheets, flyer and product
knowledge, application notes and a fairly complete reference design... over a
megabyte of pdf's, all freely downloadable. Who wants a zip of the stuff?

Also, if someone has the desire, equipment and ability to experiment with the
AL250, in a circuit already set up to send NTSC input out to VGA, I am willing
to provide the test unit **for that purpose**. Yes, the composite input works
to get television quality output from a VGA monitor... with that limitation it
is no better than using a decent TV.

Check this out... build your own SMT reflow oven... looks good!

Also, even at $75, that's still only about half of the next cheapest device
we've found that accepts RGBA. But I believe that will be pushing the limit of
competitive pricing for the hobbyist market.
