When I had a working RGB->S-video converter I connected my Amiga to my old BT848-based TV card. The picture quality was not as good as with an internal SD/FF and VGA monitor but was still preferable to a 15KHz monitor. When using composite instead of s-video the quality sucked.
Also, with this TV card 50hz is not supported in NTSC mode and if I switch it to PAL then of course it also expects a PAL color signal.

Yeah but the Coco3 only outputs 64 possible colors, many fewer than an Amiga, and normally the ADCs/DACs and memory in a scandoubler have to take this into account. Besides that, for only $48 it's too good to be true.
