Wow... been looking for an alternative to the Tandy CM-8 and the Magnavox 
CM515 monitors for a long while, anxiously waiting for the scan converter 
being worked on to be able to use VGA monitors with the CoCo 3, but your 
solution is something I can start to tinker with almost right away now :-)

This proves that the CoCo comunity is composed of quite an inventive group 
of people!

Great article Stephen!
