I would like to find out if there is a CGA type display adaptor which puts out
a COLOR composite video signal in addition to the standard rgb.  Any
information would be appreciated.

Maybe you're confused because there are a lot of cheap MONOCHROME composite
monitors out there.  Anyway, both the standard IBM CGA and Compaq's much
better equivalent put out a composite video signal.  Color looks pretty
good on my Sony XBR monitor/TV.

It is better never to have been born.  But who among us has such luck?
One in a million, perhaps.

There is the ZUCKERBOARD color graphics adapter which comes with RGB and a 
parallel printer board, and also includes a RGB-to-Composite converter which
plugs into the RGB 9-pin socket and has a RCA-type socket at the other end.
Mine cost ca. $80 a month ago.

It looks like the signals for color are on the IBM card, but no hooked up!
Anyone have a non-smoking suggestion for jumpering?

Black Box Corporation sells a RGB to Composite converter with plugs into
the RGB 9-pin socket and has a standerd RCA phono jack output.
The sell a powered version (GC-AC034B) for $59.95 and a non-powered version
(GC-AC040B) for $39.98.

Unfortunately, the black box converter works in shades of grey.  I have been
unable to locate a source for the Zuckerboard, as of yet.

PS: Thanks to all who have replied so far.  I have recieved a number of
suggestions, but so far, I have not resolved my problem.  I may just save up,
get an RGB monitor, and sell the composite.
