I have a CoCo3 board and keyboard, and they work fine on my NTSC  
compatible tv, so depending on your TV i'd say yes. Though I did have  
to use the mods on the net to convert it for 12V operation, as I have  
only the board and keyboard no PSU.

Humm, I wonder if there's an image of that rom anywhere ? Wonder if it  
would be possible to run a wire from that composite pin and use that  
signal, might be better than the modulator output :)

Yeah I got one of those from Maplins a few months back to run a coleco  
Adam from :)

Cheers.

Phill.
