Hmm, could work, but whre comes this "cheap" from ? For that price you should easily get an external Scandoubler.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

I've heard only bad things about that model, something about it being lethal...in the bad way!

There's a guy on Ebay selling AmiVGAs for £10. I brought one just for the hell of it.

Note though, this unit requires a boot disk before you can use a VGA monitor and only supports a fixed 640*480 screen mode.

Also because the unit was developed in 1993 it does not work with all newer monitors. I tested this unit on 4 monitors and only the 3 'vintages VGA' work not my SVGA.

ALSO requires the Super Denise Chip.

http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=219&products_id=2875& is what you're looking for, but it's not cheap.

Also: the SCART connector has the Japanese pinout, so you need to whip together an adapter.
