[Coco] Using a CM5 on a COCO3

[Paul T. Barton]

I'm using PC jr monitors. Tied the intensity
line so that intensity is always on (this
was done for me by someone else, not sure
how it was done). Now blue background 
with white text is gorgeous. Oh, and
this monitor has sound, too! Still, it has
large dot-pitch but ok at 80 cols.
