I just wanted to let anyone who is interested in knowing, I have the AverKey iMicro outboard (external) scan converter and just set up a system with a A-T-I All-In-Wonder 128 32MB PCI video card (no AGP slot)
and the difference between them is quite noticable. The iMicro, you would think is better because it is a dedicated stand alone unit, but the text and picture was barely readable, no matter what overscan setting I used. The picture with the video out on the A-I-W was amazing compared to the iMicro, with text easily readable. I could read almost all the text except for the very smallest font and the picture was near excellent in comparison. I would compare the iMicro picture to worse than rabbit ears antenna to the A-I-W video output as S-VHS, yes that much of a difference. So if your contemplating one way or the other, here's some advise. I had this hooked up to my Toshiba 27" A50 through the regular RCA video input, I'll have to try the S-VHS out sometime when I can get behind the TV, if I remember correctly the A-I-W has both.
