I tried to come  up with a  way to do that but couldn't.  It's
just not possible unless you open the  coco enclosure and
do some rewiring.

You can get a composite to SVGA converter at www.matco.com  that
will do that.   It will cost you about $75.   The  XRGB2+ will do it better
but is no longer available.   THey are  coming up with another version,
the XRGB3 but it will be well over  $200.
