Or the Atari TTM194.

BTW, we're having a little problem interfacing an Amiga to a Telenova monitor
(a funny beast, it's got a 15 KHz digital input and a 35 KHz analogue one).
The Amiga video port features both analogue and digital outputs, but the
digital ones are only RGBI (One bit for each colour plus an intensity bit),
yielding (according to Tony) only 16 colours, while the Amiga (in this case an
A2000) may output as many as 64 colours. This makes palette settings quite
adventurous, and games get an entirely different look. How would you go about
generating double digital RGB signals and a full set of 64 colours?
