So this is the kind of device I've been wanting for years. Easily and efficiently converts MDA/CGA/composite CGA/EGA/Tandy graphics modes to native VGA! And this video has been in the works for a little while now, but things almost never go as planned when it comes to retro computing-related projects it seems.
I first got this device back at the very end of September, messed with it for a while, filmed a whole bunch of stuff, had the video about 98% complete. Just about everything was ready to go before Halloween! But it turns out the pre-release unit I was sent had a weird issue where one of its features didn't function. Like at all. The composite video mode was completely non-existent somehow.

So I brought it up to Serge over at Serdaco and it turns out there was an issue with the firmware that was previously unnoticed. But it's now fixed! He sent out another unit all the way from Belgium ASAP and it is now totally awesome. So if you end up getting one of these incredibly useful scalers all of its features should now work as intended.
Also I hope the video turned out well, ha. Kinda hard to tell from my end, I rarely go back and re-edit a video this much but it was worth it to have the most up to date info.
