If the modulator in the coco3 could be tapped, and the S-Video signal 
extracted, it should be at least 2x sharper than the composite output can 
ever be.

That thought has crossed my mind on several occasions, but like BWC, I seemed

pattern to make those on my milling machine.  Is there a market for them 
here?
