	OK! Here's the blurb from the flyer:

RGB to S-VIDEO ADAPTER            $50.00
The HAWKSoft RGB to S-Video adapter allows you to connect your Coco 3 to
any TV with S-Video input. Retire your aging CM-8 and enjoy a crisp,
clear 80 column display on any TV! Adjustable horizontal centering means
no more lost characters on the left side! Requires 5 volts at 100 ma.

	I also sell a regulated 5v power supply for $5.

	And, No, the chip doesn't output component video...
