   ... I hear rumors of a lowcost NTSC graphics card for the PC in a
   few months.

I can confirm that rumor.  Innovision has designed a chip that can be easily
interfaced to VGA chips to cause them to sync with incoming NTSC signals and
generate NTSC output.  Many VGA manufacturers are picking it up.  It will
also do overlay and genlock.  There's nothing to driving the chip -- it
has a control register to select between two video inputs, and select which
type of output you want.

Peace is not the absence of war.  Peace is the presence of a system for
resolving conflicts before war becomes necessary.  War never creates peace.
