Summary: Hooking VCRs to PC


I hooked up my VCR to my IBM-PC1 back in 1982 by doing the unbelievably
complicated procedure of running a coax cable from the video composite
OUTPUT on the CGA card to the video INPUT on the VCR.  I did this for
two reasons:

      1.  I was too cheap to buy a color monitor and too cheap to
          buy (and too stupid to build) a RF box to generate a
          signal for my color TV, and I already owned a VCR.

      2.  I wanted to record the graphic output of a video game I
          was building, for copyright purposes.

Of course, this isn't exactly what was requested (RGB) but it can
easily be used.
