Sorry guys, Sock Master has done this already.
At Pennfest 2000, Sock was displaying a video clip of a spinning CoCo3
He had put a CoCo3 on a record player. He then turned the CoCo3 a small
increment at a time and took a photo. Then he compiled each frame into
his hi-color format.
The finished product was it streaming each frame (from RAM) to create a
short looping video of the CoCo3 spinning in 3D on the CoCo3 screen in
full 4096 color.
So, it can be done (as long as off a fast storage device) but as Mark
McDougall pointed out, what's the point...as can be seen by the fact
that no-one remembers this feat.
(A video of this is on the Pennfest 2000 souvenir CD for those that
bought the CD back then)
