> Old Business:

> have not heard from Cloud 9, Brother Jeremy or Dave  Keil as yet. 
> New business:

> newsletter. 
> The meeting  adjourned at 8:50 pm. 
> Chris Hawks gave  us the “Show Of The Evening”, his new CoCo RGB To S-Video 
> Converter. He had  purchased a flat screen Samsung TV. with Stereo and 
> external audio/video inputs  including an S-Video input. The monitor's finish 
> was 
> Timex/Sinclair Silver which  made Bob's eyes light up. Chris had 2 versions of 
> the adapter at the meeting.  The one he demonstrated showed the “screen shift 
> left” problem of the CoCo due  to late horizontal sync pulses. The second unit 
> had a fix aboard for the problem  which allows for continuous control of 
> horizontal centering. He was not able to  show how this version functions as the 
> chip adapter required for the unit  arrived only this afternoon. We were all 
> really impressed with the great picture  we saw coming from the CoCo3. Look for 
> Chris to demo this again at the  Fest. 
> After the show we  all went to Portillo's for the meeting after.
