[Coco] Coco Digest, Vol 147, Issue 34

Hello,

being the output from the WordPak2+ RGB type, could it be fed into an 
Euroconnector (Scart) and so to a digital TV?
Do you know if the RGB output level is 1V?

The gbs board you mention, could be this one?
CGA/EGA/YUV to VGA Arcade HD-Converter PCB (GBS-8220)
CODE: GBS-8220
$39.95
In stock
new / Gonbes Technology Co. / 180 Days Limited
This official Gonbes CGA/EGA/YUV to VGA Arcade HD-Converter PCB allows all 
types of RGB, EGA, VGA or YUV component signals to be up-converter and 
display on a 31KHz PC VGA monitor, TFT monitor, LCD display, or HD-TV with 
VGA connection. No need to set dip switches in order to figure out the 
specific input frequency as all inputs are detected automatically! A great 
alternative to purchasing an expensive, heavy CGA monitor. Use this 
converter with an existing computer monitor or install a lightweight LCD 
display or even use to build your own supergun!
This is very affordable, if ever needed

thanks
pere

It does not output VGA. It's 15khz and you will need an atari, amiga or sony 
pvm monitor. Or the gbs board

The rgb2vga does not look good on this but is usable This chip has a 
variable signal that i couldnt make it look good.

You need the drivers for os-9 and basic.
