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

[Kip Koon]

Hi Bill,
Do you have a wiring diagram I can have a copy of so I can make a CoCo 3 RGB 10-pin output to the 1084S RGB input?  Heck, the pin out for all the inputs - other than the RCA jacks of course.  Those are a no-brainer.  :P

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.
