[Coco] CM8 Cables color coding.

Tue Apr 11 23:32:42 EDT 2017

The only sure way not to get the pins wrong is to look at a photo of the CoCo 3 circuit  board where it is a top down picture with pin 1 marked.

There is at least one bad CoCo 3 RGB pin out on the Internet which caused one person on Facebook unbelievable problems for a long time.

I got it right the first time and had my Sony KV1311CR displaying a great picture within 10 days of getting the Rainbow issue where Dr. Goodman said it was the best  CoCo 3 RGB monitor.
