I've often considered doing such a mod to my Spectrum so that
I could use it. I've got the directions for adding composite-out to
the Spectrum around here somewhere. That or feed it's output into
the input of my Amiga 3000's TBC+ and have it do the signal
conversion on the fly. The TBC+ is supposed to be capable of such a
thing but I've never actually tried it to see how usable the
resulting signal would be.
