Your best bet is to use Roy Justus' RGB-to-VGA converter hardware.  It  
lets you hook up the RGB-Analog output on the underside of the CoCo 3  
to a computer monitor with a VGA input.

Here's a review:

You can contact Roy by e-mail:  RJRTTY [at] aol.com

There's usually a waiting list of several months to buy an adapter,  
unfortunately.  Roy's makin'em as fast as he can.

The advantage of using composite output over RGB is if you are using  
CoCo 1/2 programs that use high-res graphics with artifact colors.   
The RGB connection reproduces these graphics in true black-and-white.
