[Coco] Perhaps a silly newbie question

[Mark Ormond]

Correct, the CoCo 2 did not come stock with a monitor output.  Even the new 
digital TVs won't work with them.  There are several adapter designs online. 
IIRC; there are some on the Maltedmedia site.  Most use a couple transistors 
and less than a half dozen components in total.  They don't have to be 
assembled to look pretty either.

Could you please point them out? The only ones I saw were on gimechip, and they took advantage of the fact that
MC1372 in the coco1 is already outputting composite video, that is then fed into a separate rf modulator, while
in the 2, the mc1372 is part of the rf modulator, and is not generating ANY composite video.

My plan, (If I can EVER find the free time), is take another MC1372, and duplicate the circuit from the 1 that
outputs composite, and tie it into the 2. The problem with this is, the MC1372 is very hard to find, except in
cocos.
