Right now (first-stage) I am relying on the standard outputs.
I have a 5.6" LCD in my vehicle with composite inputs. One
day I plan to remove that from the car and mount it (hope-
fully detachable) to the CoCo. When I do that I plan to
attempt to hack the RGB signal into it for a better picture.
It's still surprisingly readable as-is. I can still make out
3x5 pixel text labels on a hi-res screen. Oh, I also have one
of those emergency vehicle battery packs that you're supposed
to be able to recharge your car's dead battery with via the
lighter socket. It makes a great portable PS, if somewhat bulky.
I'll put some pics up soon. I also have my AT repack featuring
lots of internal goodies and my handmade keyboard... man, I love
that keyboard!
