Oddly - last I looked about 12 months ago there are NOT alot of RAMDAC's on 
the market anymore.  This has all  moved "on-chip" with all the high-end 
graphics manufacturers now so this is a VERY hard item to find.  The one we 
did find was obsolete though the manufacturer was willing to build them again 
if we had the numbers.

There are some CCIR601 or maybe it's CCIR665 (it has been 12 months) around 
but this is a different standard. If I recall, they are all favoring YUV now. 
Do the folks who did the core have somthing they can recommend that I'm not 
aware of, and if so - could they please make it public!
