[Coco] Coco 3 up and running! Monitor colors?

[Aaron Banerjee]

Thanks everyone that replied.  The system is up and running, so I  
suppose today was a success, but it was sort of nostalgic bummer.  My  
coco systems "got dismantled" over a decade ago, and only now do they  
work again, but I can't find my original disks -- not bought ones, but  
ones with some of my old programs (i.e. I had an eclipse program, and  
some other weird stuff).  Well, at least I did manage to find one coco  
disk that the drive reads, so I can verify it works.  I'll test the  
cassette later....
