Seems like it should be possible, the C64 does supply separate Y-C video, but
there might be problems like additional conections not available from a VIC
chip (like a sync pulse on a separte pin), or the bandwidth requirements may be
different (to acheive the better resolution)--either of these, of coarse, go
beyond the NTSC standard.  However, you won't hurt anything by trying---I would
just get the pinouts from somewhere (a local Hi-Fi repair shop should be able
to help you out well) and just try the thing.  Anyone else have any ideas???
