Yes, there is the 24 Bit to TV Converter box which is also available
with RGB-Scart output..

Well together with a Genoa 7900 ET4000 true color card you can also
output Powerpoint on the TV set with 800x600x65 K colors fullsscreen
overscan ! Looks incredible good with powerpoint !
I have used it myself..

24 bit to TV box is an external unit that connects via the 15 pin
output connector of the VGA card. It gets it power from the keyboard
connector, so you need no external power supply..

You can also stick the VGA monitor to it, so if you start no software
driver, your system will be like before.. You see your pictures on the
VGA monitor..
If you start a 2 KByets TSR program it switches the graphics output
to the FBAS(video), Y/C(SVHS/Hi8) and RGB-Scart output..

You can toggle back by a Hot Key to SVGA..

I gonna post a JPEG pic of it in alt.binaries.pictures.misc newsgroup,
so you all can have a look at it...
