	Has anyone out there ever tried to build an RGB->composite converter
for an Amiga similar to the box that Commodore sells for the 500 for about
$70.00, I forget the number of the thing.  I have plans for a genlock 
someday but am trying to raise the cash.  I used a friends A2000 with a
composite out card on it to do some titling and found it to be acceptable
for a while but don't have easy access to the machine any more.  I figured
if Commodore sold the converter box for $70.00 it couldn't be too complex
and shouldn't cost too much to build one at home if you knew what you 
were doing.  Basically what is needed is a black box that connnects to the
RGB port and pumps out composite video on an RCA jack, it would be nice
if the RGB was passed through too.  If anyone has tried this please e-mail
any schematics or info you may have.
	Thanks in advance.
