[Coco] RGB2VGA Bitstreams

I finally found some time to start working with a new rgb2vga that was 
purchased from Ed a month or two back.  I'm discovering that the latest 
bitstream in Subversion (r100) looks really poor when driven from the 
Coco.  Very jittery and smeary.  If I drop back to my favorite version 
(r52), it looks sharp as a razor.

Conversely, the new bitstream is much better for the Apple 2, but there is 
no longer any way to turn off color (I think 'Artifact' used to do that, 
but it does nothing now).

I'm also noticing that the scanline effect is way too subtle in the newer 
firmware.  Hardly noticeable at all.

What version bitstream are folks using?  Are you all seeing sharp, stable 
80-column text from the Coco?
