Any link to the circuit?  I might want to try this with my IBM CGA.  I 
also have an Extron unit that I'll eventually hook up, once I can find 
cables and/or pinouts.

All this talk about the Apple II composite video, and yet I swear I had 
at least one or two composite capture cards that could sync to it and 
grab it just fine... Iomega Buz perhaps?  I have captured video as proof 
on a CDROM so maybe that's a solution -- a brooktree or similar cheap 
capture card, displaying the results realtime on a VGA monitor?
