   modulator.  But Instead of Amiga video signal to convert to a low-quality   
   composite output, this converter uses the RGB output there to make a YPbPr   
   signal that is compatible with HDTVs that have a component input.

   AMIGA RELOADED - INDIVIDUAL COMPUTERS   
   *************************************   
      
   Much like the C64 Reloaded, the Amiga Reloaded will be a new Amiga   
   motherboard using original MOS/CSG chips.  It does not directly compare to   
   any existing Amiga mainboard, but if you want a comparison basis, then an   
   A1200 is probably the closest match.  However, there are differences that   
   also make it very much "not A1200".
