The CoCo3 can do 640x225 in 4 colors, not just 200.

I have an old advertisement from CoNect about their XPander:

"The XPander started out as one part of the PoCo project. The Poco was
to be a portable with flip up LCD screen in a case no larger than a
stock CoCo. ..."

I don't see any advertisement from them for this PoCo, so maybe it
ran into insurmountable problems. Or, maybe they solved some of these
issues. Does anyone know what happened to this Milwaukee-based
company?

Thanks
