[Coco] new release: RGB Monitor Test v1.0

[Zippster]

Good to know Steve.  

Can someone link to pics of this showing the proper colors on a CM-8 or other 15.7khz RGB screen?

We’re having a discussion on DAC resistor values on the RGB2VGA board.
I’d really like to have something accurate to compare against.

Thanks,

- Ed
