[Coco] Audio from a CoCo 3 - - WAS--> Color test with CoCo 3

[Jim Cox]

Thanks Rogelio:

I was able to work out a kludge last night by using 
another video converter that I have that had an RCA audio 
input and and 3.5mm output for headphones.  I ran a RCA 
cable between it and the CoCo, then hooked up a pair of PC 
speakers to the  3.5mm output.

Not the best solution, but it allowed me to play around 
with the SOUND command last night.

I remember posting about this particular video converter 
to this list a long time ago, before Roy started making 
his converter.  It has inputs for RCA Video and Audio, 
S-Video, and VGA, and on VGA output.  It does not do 
composite video like Roy's adapter does, which is one 
reason I have played with it much.

I've done some looking around and found a few sources for 
mono RCA male to 3.5mm female adapters.  That will be the 
perfect solution to allow the use of PC speakers.
