If you mean RGB TTL the answer is; You have to build something.

If you mean a TTL version of the luminance signal then it is available
	inside the 800XL.

	The GTIA chip (U17) has 4 bits of luma on pins

		31   bit 0
		22   bit 1
		23   bit 2
		24   bit 3

		25   sync

	these are buffered by a 4050 (U20)

		6  bit 0
		12 bit 1
		4  bit 2
		2  bit 3
		15 sync


Hope this helps.
