I am not so sure of any mismatch in the output of the GIME chip or the buffers in the 
COCO3.

If Roy's circuit is taking the RGB signals from the COCO3 then the only part of the 
PAL/NTSC debate is the horizontal and vertical sync frequencies. Still that is a marginal issue 
in my opinion. As that sets the number of pixels (for lack of a better term) per line. PAL 
doubled HSYNC rate will still be slightly lower than that of doubled NTSC. I am not so sure 
that is a liability though. 

just some thoughts that may or maynot be worth the virtual paper in which it is written on.
