New Image Technology (301-464-3100) will sell you the chips to do this for $64. This is not a product they normally market - they are doing this as a "convenience to their customers". If you're not already a customer, I guess buying the chips from them makes you a customer :-) If the receptionist doesn't know what you are asking for, you may need to talk to Mike. (You can tell them I sent you.) Disclaimer: I do freelance software development work for New Image Technology, but I don't make any money if you buy video rams from them.
