I was working on a converter that would accept TTL, composite, analogue
RGB and DVI of any frame rate and output to VGA/DVI (it had a triple frame
buffer, so PAL wasn't an issue). The idea being it could be used for ANY
retro computer/game input (except RF). It was for our own use initially,
not for sale though (it was based on a client's product). Having said
that, if we got it finished we may have considered scaling it down to a
commercial/hobbyist product.

Unfortunately, while we had Coco (RGB) & Amiga tested and working, we
never got composite working to our satisfaction and as it was, it was
going to be too expensive.

Maybe we'll re-visit it one day...
