Hmmm...that makes me wonder...if you don't mind,
here's a couple of other scenarios. What do you think
of using, say, a Tiger game.com (which would limit you
to black and white, but at least it's still portable),
or a Sega Game Gear. I would not be so crass as to
suggest a TurboExpress. It's the same idea as, "You
don't buy a Jaguar XKE just to do a crash test with
it."
One other scenario: Radio Shack sells these TV's with
LCD displays. The screen would roughly be equivalent,
I would imagine. All you might have to do is hardwire
the TIA in where the tuner goes, right? Could that be
a feasible alternative?
