[Coco] RGB2VGA Converter Build Update, Issues Found, Wordpak2+ Build Resumes

[Kip Koon]

Hi Guys,
If anyone is currently in school in a related course, the academic price is $61 plus shipping as opposed to $79 plus shipping!  If you are out there and are willing to take on this DE-0 Nano order, it would save everyone at least $18!
