	The old CGA adapter card that went in the first IBM PCs had an
output jack (RCA type) that put out NCSA video that would work on the
Commodore 64 monitors.  It wasn't great because the CGA monitor has a
higher bandwidth than the C64 Monitor.  I don't know too much about the
Toshiba laptops but I would be very surprised if they had this NCSA port.
There are some RGB to NCSA converters out there somewhere so you might ask
the net if anyone knows about one.
