So the shack has decided to have lower case on their latest version of the
color computer, huh?  This suprises me not.  Motorola has had a nearly
pin-compatible version of the 6847 VDG for at least a year; I have the data
sheet for it and it looks like it would not be at all difficult to install
one in an older color computer, if I could only find the part.  Does anyone
know where I could get this?  I don't have the sheet handy or I'd give the
exact part #, but it is still called a 6847.  The only thing you give up
is some of the semi-graphics modes; which is not a big loss because they
are rarely used anyway.
