The original IBM CGA card had RGB and Composite video which worked
simultaneously.
The CoCo3 had 3 video outputs (RGB, Composite and RF) but they were all
from the 1 output source (the GIME).
The only way to get more than 1 is to plug in a second video controller
such as the 80 column cartridges (mainly for CoCo1 & 2) or use OS-9 to
output to multiple external terminals via serial.
