Thanks for the link.  Those shots are MUCH MUCH sharper than I can do.  
I've looked at things here and found that as applied to the adaptor Roy 
sent me, the high freqs are very badly rolled off, so much so that 80 
column text, particularly in color combos using blue aren't well 
reproduced as the rise times to give those nice sharp pix you are 
getting just aren't there coming out of my coco3.  A full black to 
white transition is well over 280ns here.

Maybe my gime is sickly.  The only other gime I have is an 86 model, 
sitting in Dennis Skala's older coco3.  Its got the sparklies.

What are you measuring for rise & fall times using the usual 10-90% 
points?
