There was discussion of this product on one of the Amiga boards.  Opinions 
were mixed, but the Amiga produces a variety of video modes and perhaps 
some were just troublesome for scan conversion.  I have never used the 
Ambery unit, but my other low-cost RGB converter (Wei-Ya ACV-011) does a 
great job on the CoCo.  So, it's possible that this guy is workable.

FYI:  The only thing I've ever seen that handles Amiga interlaced modes 
properly is the Highway (aka Cyp) Model 100 - a considerably more 
expensive unit (>$200).
