   Hello David,

   I was thinking more of small (probably passive) adaptors. They may just route   
   the appropriate pins from the Amiga's video connector to a VGA one, but   
   perhaps there are resistors to drop the video signal voltages to VGA levels.   
      
   On an ECS Amiga that would let me run 'productivity mode', although a   
   scan-doubler would be nice to let me see NTSC & PAL screens too.   
      
   I have a friend that went through one or two Picasso boards. I was impressed   
   with his, but my only Zorro-equipped Amiga is in Britain.

   Thanks for the pointers!   
      
     DLS> Also, try Fido AmigaSale. It could use some traffic.   
      
   I'm not sure whether the BBS I use carries that one.  It's tricky to figure   
   out which conference maps to which echo because of the way they're labelled.

   It's good to know that I'm not the only Amiga user in Illinois :-)
