[Coco] CoCo to SVGA converter?

[Roger Taylor]

Has anyone created a converter for the CoCo for connecting SVGA and flat 
panel monitors?

Mark, if you're reading this.. I really think a universal CoCo video 
converter would be the ultimate CoCo upgrade.  A device that could convert 
the RF Out, Video Out, or RGB Out into the SVGA format would be one of the 
best things a CoCo could ever have.

We've got everything we thought could never be done, but nothing to 
preserve our video.  That is, if your CM-8 or other RGB monitor fails and 
you have trouble finding something else compatible, you're CoCo system is 
basically rendered useless.  Besides, most CoCo users have never really 
seen a crisp clean video signal.

I set my flat panel monitor on top of my original gray CoCo 1 just to see 
how it looks, and it looks GREAT.  Talk about retrofitting!  I quickly 
imagined what it would be like to have some of my custom programs built 
into ROM Paks, and the system would only consist of the CoCo, the flat 
panel, and the ROM Pak.  *VERY* compact, and very appealing.
