From: John Heitmuller on 30 Oct 2007 08:12 Hi, I've been gone from the news group for awhile. Does anybody know if anybody ever successfully built a sellable Commodore to VGA interface, specifically a c128 80col color to VGA interface? I'm getting ready to donate a large lot of surplus VGA monitors and was wondering if there was a point in hanging on to few for my Commodores? Thanks, John

There's a lot of chatter about this at the Commodore 128 Alive! forums. You can get there from <http://www.commodore128.org>.

Like Payton said, "They still need to be <TWEAKED> a bit." Lolol Charles
