Having taken a fair amount of flak from several people who seem to think me
stupid because some site truncated my messaged, I will ignore them and ask
again.  Does anyone know of a cable or interface box which allows one to use
an Atari ST color monitor (SM 1224) to display VCR tapes, movies etc?  It
seems that there should be such a beast, and Allan Pratt agreed with me, but
neither of us has yet found one.  Essentially, it would have to allow
composite output to be displayed on an RGB screen, something which should be
possible.  This would allow you to have a VCR, which has a tuner and all
that sort of TV stuff built in, with your computer monitor, which lacks all
the TV stuff but can show a decent picture.  Please send all information to
me and I will summarize to the net.

                                     Thanks   -    Adam
