  Hi,
  I just got something in the mail from a company called
Folsom Research advertising a board that can be plugged into
a 9000-3x0, which will convert the rgb signal into something that
can be used by a TV or VCR.

  A board like that would come in really handy for me, since I
do simulations of biologically realistic neural networks and
display the output using fancy graphics on a TurboSRX, and it's
a problem saving the graphics in a form I can show to people.

  On the other hand, it's a lot of money ($5900) to lay out for
a piece of hardware I don't know anything about.

  Does anybody have any advice?  Is this a good product, and are
there other things around that do the same job?  I'd appreciate
any information anybody can give me.

  Please reply by e-mail; if anybody is interested enough to send
me mail saying so, I'll summarize to the net.  (On the other hand,
requests for confidentiality will be respected.)

				   Thanks,
