[Coco] Run of RGB2VGA boards

[K. Pruitt]

Just to toss a testimony in to the mix here...

They really are nice. I'm using mine with a 15" (and 15 years old) NEC 
Multisync LCD flat screen monitor.

The picture the RGB2VGA generates is fantastic. Games are more exciting 
looking and honestly a bit easier to play for some reason.

Everything is so much easier on the eyes than with the CM8 and I'm saving a 
lot of power and generating a whole lot less heat.


Many thanks to all involved. To Luis for designing this little gem. To Kip 
for building these for those of us who wanted one and are unable to build 
our own. To Ed for stepping up and helping Kip out and even adding some 
improvements to the design. You are a class act, Ed, on a whole lot of 
levels. And to Roger for coming up with some resistor changes that 
apparently improved the overall performance. If I left anybody out it is out 
of ignorance not intent.

Thanks
