[Coco] CoCo SDC board arrived and RGB to VGA converters

[Steve]

I too got my CoCo SDC board today.  But it will have to wait for the 
Sunday or later since I'm booked till then.  (I need as little time to 
dig out a CoCo and find a modern HD T.V that will take those old style 
inputs.  All my old CRT type monitors are long gone.  (The phosphors 
start fall off inside the CRT.)  I do have one of those CoCo RGB to VGA 
converters that someone sold me at a CoCofest but it never work very 
well. (Lot's of sparkles in the T.V. image.)

Speaking of CoCo 3 output to VGA converters, has anyone try this one the 
SainSmart GBS-8220 RGB/CGA/EGA/YUV to VGA Arcade HD Video Converter 
Board?  It runs about $30 and here is the link:

There is a review from a CoCo 3 user and he never got it work. But it 
could because he did not know how to hook it up.
