[Coco] Re: Roy's adapter.

[Roger Taylor]

We've been needing video converters like these for a long time and I'm glad 
somebody has come up with a solution at a good cost.  It would be good if 
we had some kind of mini inline adaptor that can work off of the CoCo's RGB 
video cable-supplied voltatage (is there?) so the device can be tucked 
away, but anything that works is a good thing.

What I would like to see is a gray CoCo 1 with a grayish flat panel monitor 
sitting on top of the case and being used for practical purposes around the 
house or shop.  This retro look is actually awesome to see.  I'm sure your 
friends and family will ask, "what the heck is that?", but that's the 
idea.  I've set mine up before just to see how it will look and it's real 
nice.  With a 64K CoCo 1, Extended BASIC and maybe one of those IDE cards 
for memory from Cloud-9, you could maybe boot into OS-9 or store all of 
your useful programs on a Flash card?
