I purchased a Highway Model 100 RGB --> VGA converter for my Apple IIGS. 
After some fiddling with the cable wiring (it uses a SCART connector for 
input), results are reasonably good.

Just picked up a Wei-Ya ACV-011 CGA --> VGA converter board with the 
intention of using it with a Commodore 128 (and possibly Amiga).  It 
doesn't have a true TTL input, but there is a C128 enthusiast out there 
who published a small circuit to do the RGBI --> CGA interface.

I still do not have a workable solution to bridge Apple II (not GS) 
composite video.  That's the one that really has the non-standard format.
