I've decided to equip my PC with a second monitor for debugging.  I
can get mono/hercules cards with the standard DB9 connector.  I have a
mono monitor from a Z100 that uses a single RCA connector for
composite input.  I'd like to use this monitor with the mono card.

Has anyone have any experiences with simple DB9->composite (I don't
even care about grey levels, just the text will do) conversion?
Preferably something I can whip together without needing external
power.
