I'd say that it would be hard to do any useful. What do you
have in mind with "to make something" ?

A PC monitor doesn't have any "text mode". That screen needs
some video card or similar to produce anything reasonable.

If you'd like a "screen" to write characters to, get a used "VT"
compatible or emulating async terminal. The best are of course
the original VT screens from Digital Equipment Corp (DEC), such as
the VT100 to the VT520. They can be found quite sheap today.

Nice project, but it produce NTSC (or "US TV") video signal,
probably a long way from a video signal for a CGA/EGA/VGA
screen, not ?
