Oh yeah, cheap is the way to go when you're a broke student :)  Anyway,
I'm trying to steer away from VGA->NTSC conversion.  The LCD takes its own
strange input protocol, so I'd probably have to build two circuits to
convert VGA or NTSC to its format.  That's why I want to figure out the
protocols for both.  Complexity of the circuit really isn't too much of an
issue since next semester I should be able to get access to the chip
making lab here at UIUC.
