- Creative Labs, and others, do a VGA to composite video adaptor (TV
- adaptor), that would allow you to use your VGA card with the 1084. It

- From memory, it is a card that takes the VGA out, loops it back thru
- the card, and then generates a composite video signal. Presumably
- there is a NTSC version as well as the PAL one available.
