[Coco] collecting info for converter

[Bob Devries]

Roy,
on further investigation, it appears that the BBC Micro has TTL (digital) 
RGB output, which probably go 0-5V. I don't believe they use the RGBI, but 
just RGB and V & H Sync.
Will this present a problem? Will a resistor voltage divider be sufficiant 
to make this into the 0 - 0.7V required for Analog RGB?
