[Coco] again: CoCo RGB to VGA conversion

[jdaggett at gate.net]

 Al

one of the problems I have now. Where I live I have limited space. I 
can no longer setup my PC and Coco in the same room. IF I were 
to have a laptop type Coco would be nice.  

I have often thought of buying an older 486 laptop and using it as a 
base to make a Coco 3 laptop.
