No, there's no missing HSYNC on the CoCo 3.  What was being said is that a 
device that attempts to correct the CoCo 3's bad HSYNC timing of the GIME 
chip would have to use a scheme that introduces a delay in the HSYNC so 
that the whole screen will be moved over to the right a tad.  As it is, 
some TVs chop off the leftmost text column, usually 1 or 2 characters.
