[Coco] CoCo 1/2 to VGA?

[Michael Graham]

Sorry about the blank message, I must really learn not to hover my mouse 
over the 'send' button.

Anyway, I'm sorry I missed that, and I'll look for it shortly. The TV 
and the monitor both take YPbPr in low resolution, which, as far as I 
can tell, is identical to YCbCr (I've built an RGB to YCbCr transcoder 
that gave nearly perfect results on my TV).
