Great! I will need it as I just got a french peritel coco2  with RGB output.
It's on mail right now :)

15 euros it's a very good deal. French people usually don't like sending
stuff overseas (even outside the polygon) but if you speak kindly in good
french it's another story :)

Look at the back of this machine it's a min-din 8 for the peritel SCART plug
and it has RGB and monochrome composite output.

Daniel has a coco2b peritel version, full details here:

But it cannot be plugged into a CM-8 without extracting and inverting the
sync signals. You will need an LM1881 and a 74LS02:

Or use a Sony PVM like me and be happy with no conversion at all :D
