I never thought about doing something like that.  I have a couple of
Dazzle's that would do composite to PC over the USB.  I could use a
laptop as a monitor.  :-)  I have tried using composite but even when
I find amonitor that it works on it is usually too fuzzy to even read
text.  Well, Dazzle might work, at least until I find something better.

I looked on eBay but all the scan converters I saw were $89 and I
really wasn't sure they would do what we are talking about as most
of them had VGA in and out.  For $30 I would buy one and gamble but
not at $90.
