[Coco] Video adapters

[Mark Marlette]

Chester,

Both of the adapters use the 10 pin IDC method of connecting to the 
video adapter.

I've been using my video cables for so long I forgot about this. So 
rather it being a plug and try it is a build and try. So it is not real 
high on my priority list.
