Based on RetroCanada's FPGA config: https://sites.google.com/site/tandycocoloco/mda-cga-ega-to-vga

Convert MDA, Hercules, CGA, and EGA video signals to VGA for use with a modern monitor.
Run your vintage PCs with their native video cards for best old software compatibility.

Features:
  • Monochrome emulation in classic amber or green.
  • CRT scanline emulation in CGA and EGA modes.
  • Composite CGA mode, for more colour possibilities in supporting games, while still using the digital DE-9 connection.
  • On-screen-display controls for image position and tuning.


Includes:
  • Monotech EternalCRT
  • 2m EGA Cable (supports MDA, Hercules, CGA, and EGA)
  • 1m USB Power Cable (Wall adapter not included; use a phone charger or USB port)
  • Tested with an IBM PC 5150, IBM MDA card, IBM CGA card, Genuine Hercules card, Oak EGA card.

Support for your video card, VGA monitor, or capture device, is not guaranteed. I have yet to come across a VGA monitor it doesn't work with however.

Maybe I should make a single post for all these items..
I have lots of good eBay feedback, but you're getting better prices here due to lack of fees.
PayPal only for payments unless you're in New Zealand.

Not the 5160. It already has 28-pin ROM's.


Fellow Kiwi's can pay in sheep ?

I swear I saw some old 5160 boards with MK36000 type ROMs. I must be mistaken. 5150 and non-PC equipment then.

Fellow kiwis can pay with bank deposit for price minus Paypal fee :D
Our local trading site TradeMe has fees as bad as eBay.

do you have any Bracketless XT-CF-Mini Cards at the moment ?

Unfortunately not. They're the only thing sold out.
I usually order parts for another batch of 10 when I get down to about 3. But these sold out too fast.

If you'd like to be notified, I can put you on a list.
They should be back in stock by the end of the month.
