Hmm, do you really need it? My german ST (520 ST+/1985) has a "circurit"
to do the trick: one transistor, a diode and a couple of resistors (I
never worked out, how it works :-).

But you don't need that either: just apply HSync to the composite sync
of the MC1377 and green and VSync to the green pin.
If that does not work, swap HSync and VSync. It works...

Hope to save you some money...
