[Coco] The myth of the Coco3 256 color mode :)

[Nick Marentes]

This 256 mode that we're talking about here is not a mode.

It's more a technique for achieving extra colors by utilising the lower 
quality composite video (especially NTSC) to fool the composite monitor 
into creating extra color as was with the CoCo 1/2 and the artifact colors.

Having said that, the example images that Joel (?) has put together are 
great!

I wish my CoCo3 had NTSC composite output and an NTSC composite CRT 
monitor to see them.

And that's the problem with this. There aren't that many (especially non 
US) people who have the ability to see NTSC composite. RGB has become 
the defacto standard.
