Yes, but the original link provided by Guillame shows a vga to scart 
connector.  As far as I know, NTSC doesn't use scart connectors in its 
various cables.  Cory said he has built something that converts a vga to 
NTSC signal.  The vga to scart connector would be to get a vga to PAL 
signal I would imagine - I don't know what SECAM is.  At any rate, what 
I'm asking is for information on how to make the type of adaptor Cory 
made, as I would like to use a connector such as this, but cannot use 
scart.  It seems to me, that you should be able to do this and us the 
component input of a TV for instance.
