[Coco] Current Status of the "Help Send A Fellow CoCoNut To This Year's CoCoFEST" Campaign

[Bill Loguidice]

I'll add my two cents to this as well. I use the RGB output of my CoCo 3 on
a Commodore 1084S monitor and the output is considerably better than
composite (composite is obviously useful when you want artifact colors, so
it's nice to have both outputs going to the 1084S at the same time to
switch back and forth). Frankly I'd love to be able to take that RGB output
and run it through my XRGB-mini Framemeister so I could use it on an HDMI
display like I can with other systems I have, but I'm not holding out hope
anyone is going to make just such an adapter.
