There have been several postings in reponse to a query for info. about
obtaining NTSC video from a Mac II.  One poster referred the questioner to
previous articles containing the neccessary code.  Said poster called this a 
"software" method.  Leo Schwab then flamed back about the absurd difficulty
of doing this in software when it's built into the Amiga.  What has been
unclearly stated is that the "software" method on the Mac II is nothing more
than reprogramming some control registers on the standard video card.  Poking
the correct values causes the card to output an NTSC-compatable signal directly.
