[Coco] Jammaboard CV-04 for Coco3

[Bill Pierce]

Speakng of Apples, The small "green screen" monitor for the Apple IIc makes a perfect monitor for OS-9 80 column screen if you don't need color (or size). I used one for about 6 years (mostly running Ultimuse 3). I hooked it up using a plain RCA cable from the RF out on the Coco to the RCA in on the monitor... no converter used. No problems with the missing left column either. It was small enough that I sat it and the Coco on the top tier of my 3 tier keyboard stand running Ultimuse 3 for live performances.
These can be had on ebay for a reasonable price. I need to pull mine out and see if it still works (it got flooded) to use it on my Coco 2. I pulled it out a few years back and the monitor seemed to work but the Coco didn't so it was hard to tell.

Strange?  I have never had a problem with composite from an Apple 2.
I have an "Apple ][ plus" in the computer room behind me connected
to an LG LCD monitor and a IIe at home that I have connected to various
CRTs and LCD monitors with no problems at all.  I have much more trouble
with the composite from my COCO3's.
