I've ordered it and will get it soon. I think it will only be 640x480 (or
similar) actually, not 800x600 as I thought. It's just a very simple easy
way to get AGA and similar onto a VGA monitor without needing a
scandoubler/flicker-fixer setup. Peersonally I use a Grand TV-Amazing, but
it's not easy to get hold of anymore.
