No idea Jim, never saw one that I can recall.

But I do have the black one ready to go, hacked for use with a ttl 
driven monitor, and used it right beside the 8CM515 for many years, 
to a patched cc3io it was just another screen.  Dennis Skala put me 
onto the trail of doing that.  But its address decding got reworked 
to keep it inside of 1 4 byte wide i/o block.  I've NDI what the 
designer had in mind when he took 2 bytes out of two adjacent 4 byte 
blocks of very valuable coco i/o space.  Jerk...
