[Coco] RF to VGA Converters...

[Michael Rowen]

Many have used similar devices and cheaper versions are out there. I paid $14.00 for one (Chinese on e-bay). They vary in quality and don't seem to universally work with all monitors, but most in my experience. The picture isn't really much better than a TV, but using a monitor is more convenient. I've only used these with Coco 2 composite.

Cheers,
-Mike
