I have a somewhat similar problem:
    Recently I bought a CGA card to accompany my Hercules.  I had heard that
some CGA cards had RGB outputs and my Amiga 1040 Monitor has RGB inputs as
well as composite, so I figured what the heck...  Well instead of going and
spending another $10-15 on a RGB cable I tried hooking the card up through
the composite port.  To my dismay I found that that there was absolutely
no horizontal or vertical sync, nor was there any color.

Has anyone out there tried to do this before?  I don't want to waste 10$ making
an RGB cable and then find out that isn't going to work either.

Any suggestions?
