-
- The digital RBG input of the A1080 is equivalent to IBM CGA. It scans
- at NTSC scan rates and includes a 4-bit digital interface (R, G, B and
- Intensity) to provide a maximum of 16 colours.

-
- I doubt it. A VGA to NTSC converter could probably be made to work if
- the Powerbook's output is VGA as you imply, but these appear to be
- quite expensive.
