 When I bought my Coco2 the seller on eBay gave me the GOLD COAX End and with about 6 feet Video cable with RCA to RCA Ends. So that how I hook it up. 

I seen this Coco Composite and Sound board for $30 but I don't want to remove any parts inside the Computer because something could go wrong. Unless I solder jumper wires and mount it that way.

 Others on this list have far bigger and far better setups than I do.

32 inch is a great size for the coco. I remember how thrilled I was when my dad let me hook the coco up to his 27 inch floor console. (wood cabinet circa 1985)  I thought nothing could ever be bigger than that‎.

Don't worry about the lack of games.  As soon as you setup DW and download the 10mb library of games you will be glad you have the bigger TV to enjoy then on.

As a side note :

You will get a far better picture on your TV if  you use a RCA to COAX adapter($1 or less on ebay) instead of the RF switch box

In a few weeks can you send me picture of what your system looks like? I haven't seen those Computer you were talking about.

I will be happy just to get my system up and running half as good as your. Later I would like to be able to use Computer LCD monitor that will be much later. I have it hook up to a 32 inch LED Samsung TV for me that to big of cource I have no Games for my Coco2.

I know that not helping you out on this.

 Is it possible to copy a program from the SDC to a Physical disk using a MPI and DOS 3?

DOS 5 works perfectly when my SDC is connected directly to the Dragon, but will not boot when connected to the Dragon using a MPI

MY current setup is a Tano Dragon 64 with a MPI. SLOT 1 (EMPTY), SLOT 2 has my SDC (Dragon modified with Dos3 in Bank4 and Dos5 in bank2), SLOT 3 has a Speech/Sound Cart, SLOT4 has a Dual drive with a modified FD500(using Dragon Super Dos)
