FYI,

I followed up a pointer from Neil Harris & called Practical Solutions to request
info on their adapter to convert the RGB outputs from a 1040 (non-rf modulator
version) to composite & rf signals.

They plan to have the device in the marketplace within 6 weeks, they assure me
that it is NOT vapor-ware.  The current delay is the wait for final FCC
approval.

This device is to retail for $119.00, will plug directly into the monitor port
of the 1040, and will produce both composite & RF outputs, thus enabling
connections to a TV/VCR.

This should allow 1040 owners to video tape their sessions, and (this is what I
really want!) monochrome owners to hook up color TV's to check out the low rez
and med rez stuff they've been missing out on (without having to go out & pay
$350+ for a color monitor).

In case anyone wants to call Practical Solutions in Tucson for additional info,
their # is 602-884-9612.

Thanks to Neil for the pointer......

Dennis....
