VGA explained Hands On

If you are like me you do not know much about hardware. In case you wonder how all this (old school) video interface is working, say in case of VGA for example, you are in luck. In this video (and its part II) a Youtube channel called Ben Eater explains the basic VGA signal by freaking building a simple graphics card using breadboards and simple circuitry. He does this, layer by layer, in order to fulfill the different aspects of the VGA specification. And afterwards even I have the impression to have understood how the thing basically works.
