then about 2meg of fifo ram (I think the toasterscan uses four meg if its got a flicker fixer onboard or two otherwise) and then a cpld to control it all, followed by a dac..

Averlogic AL-250A-T-0 Video Scan Doubler (De-Interlacer) with embedded DRAM & DAC ~= $11

with each of those chips costing pounds, not pence the card would still end up around the £75 mark once product warrenty, a markup for the maker and a markup for the seller is taken into account.

I think it could be done for £30-35. But there is no real market, you'd sell like maybe 150-200 if you were lucky.
