Re: Extremely good news: Kopin 320M Display Drivers

That's great! Thanks Justin. After much playing of the game, motorola might just
be sending me some samples, so this clean pcb layout is just what I need. Can
anyone point me at any info for Don Papp's connector solution? I can never get
to his page anymore. Also, I know that this ASIC is designed to work with mono
ntsc, and I was planning on getting NTSC from a vga-ntsc converter, so would it
be enough to have the actual operating system on the pc end generating a
monochrome mode?

kill-9
