Pere, posted earlier was a link to a GBS-8220 video converter. I find them (or clones of them) around $26 on e-Bay. Someone on this list is using one. I have a friend who has one on his arcade machines.

I would like to see a photo of the LCD VGA monitor output to see how it compares to a CM-8. Someone said the output was not very good, but it might be "good enough" for $26.
