[Coco] Run of RGB2VGA boards

[Gustavo Ranaur Schoenaker]

Ed,

Here is my 2 cents idea.

If you're using th RGB2VGA only for the Coco (Why anyone here would use
other computer, like an MSX or Amiga? :-)) you don't need all the
components of the project.

Some of them are quite expensive like:

   - the LM 1881 (and the socket)
   - one of the VGA connectors (you'll need only the output),
   - the capacitors

In this case you can do a cheaper "RGB2VGA light" (same board, without some
components).

For CoCo owners it doesn't matter. I don't know how much the unneeded cost,
but it will save some bucks in the price (and soldering time) for sure.

Here in Brazil I found a plastic box perfect for the project. Unfortunately
it sells only here. On the site you can find it here (with specifications).
Maybe someone can print it.

(mine is black and grey. I never found the white model)

I have two boards: one fully soldered and another one without the Chip.
Both give the very same (high quality) video.

Great job in making a RGB2VGA batch!
