NTSC output from CompactFlash or serial?

wear-hard,

Are there other ways to get NTSC out of a CF-only machine (like the
Zaurus) other than a serial-to-NTSC overlay, such as the BOB-II?

Does an adapter exist to allow you to plug in something like the
Voyager VGA PCMCIA card into the CompactFlash socket (just as there
are now USB Host CF cards and IDE HD CF cards)?  Or even a USB->NTSC
machination of some sort?

Incidentally, Decade now makes the BOB-3, with 40x17 character
resolution, and a greatly expanded character set, including the comma:

With the price revelation of the Eyetop, and assuming flicker isn't
the problem some reviews made it out to be, I'm now wondering if a
BOB-3 and an Rx433 module could be melded into a slimmed down Eyetop
case, with a Tx433 module on a Zaurus serial port.

Thanks,
Vito
