I doubt it George, at least for the 730B.  Would need at least one of 
Roy's vga adapter kits to drive it.  Or possibly the one Luis is working 
on might work.

Its basic vertical refresh rate is 75hz, and 85khz for the horizontal.
Analog input is a 1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) connector, and a 
digital input is a 1 x DVI-D - 24 pin digital DVI connector.

What references I can google find for the 730MW indicates its a secam std 
tv, with a 61khz horizontal refresh rate, and while it has an FM audio 
tuner too, no mention of any other input facilities are mentioned.  
Another site says it has a vga input on a db15 HD connector.

Also gawdawfull expen$ive at $639 MSRP on both sites.  I have to assume 
its now several years old, since that money will now buy you a huge 50+ 
inch hidef tv.
 
It has been my observation that if a modern "digital" has rca plugs so you 
can plug in your ancient vhs vcr, or a dvd player, it usually has the 
needed conversions built in.  I now have a 42" Vizio tv from Wallies, that 
has a whole rack of input connectors on the back of it that INCLUDES S-
VGA, VGA, and both Composite and RGB on std RCA connectors.  It can 
display the NTSC output from a dvd or tape. The Mrs has a sharp hi8 
camera, and while its a bit like looking thru a stippled glass shower 
door, it does work.  So it might be worth the effort to make a breakout 
cable, but one might have to cobble up a circuit to put the coco's sync 
outputs under the green signal as I've not seen separate synch inputs for 
those.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
