	I can reply, but, I'll soon be late for work.

	You can _almost_ use the Neobitz board with a Coco3. As Steve mentioned, the 
Coco3 outputs separate horizontal and vertical sync and the board expects 
combined. The chip in use (same as mine) can use the separate signals. You just 
need to remove the pullup from the unused input and connect the other signal 
there. The other possible problem is that the horizontal sync timing causes the 
left few characters in 80 column mode to be cut off. The HAWKSoft adapter has 
circuitry to adjust the timing. Easily added to the Neobitz, if needed.


	I'll write more, if needed after work.
