[Coco] Re: [Color Computer] CoCo 2 and a PC VGA

[Kevin Diggs]

Hi,

	I don't believe this is quite correct. The VDG outputs a luminance 
signal and two color signals , phase a and b. I believe this amounts to 
describing a color space with 3 components. I am confident these could 
be converted into RGB with little or no signal loss.

	If I ever find a job my scan doubler for the tre is also going to 
support my deuce. The model deuce I have, a -3026, has ... terrible 
video noise. Anybody else with this model have the same problem? And it 
is not because of its age. It has always been bad.

P.S.:	The VDG also outputs a "chroma bias" but I don't believe this is 
an independent signal component.
