[Coco] Component video for CoCo2

[Joe Grubbs]

This Component Video circuit should work with any 6847 chip, so I believe the MC10 could also benefit. And since it produces standard RGB output levels with high precision, I suspect it will work nicely with a myriad of off the shelf RGB-VGA adapters

In lieu of this, Ed is currently producing Composite A/V boards for the CoCo2, which work very well if your tv/monitor has the inputs.

Hi Joe,

I'm very interested in this as I have a couple of CoCo 2's and just
can't see myself hooking them up via RF (channel 3/4).

I didn't even remember I had one, but found an MC-10 with a 16K RAM
expansion.  Any possibility of a composite circuit for one of those?

Thanks!

One thing we'll have to do is take a page from Ed's book and run the circuit off of its own 7805 instead of tapping into the 5vdc from the mobo. There is some digital noise that gets through. Instead of building a pi filter and other stuff to filter that, it's much easier to pop a little regulator in there and be done with it.
