[Coco] CGA to VGA/TFT converter

[Mark Ormond]

I never tried, I tried to use it on my Amiga 1200 and had lousy results, and also as I typed this I now understand why it didn't work either.
The amiga is .7v also.Duhhhhh! I guess I could use a amp like I use to drive my arcade monitors with my vga cards and try it again. The question is where did I put it.


Later,
Dabone
