[Coco] RGB2VGA

[Zippster]

I have a GBS8200, and though they definitely work, the picture clarity is nowhere
near as good as what I see in Luis’ RGB2VGA work.  Also, there is the artifact
facet.

Then again, an RGB2VGA setup costs 5 times as much (though Luis is working on a lower
cost version from what I’ve read).

In any case, more options is always better than fewer. :)

The GBS 8200 is often used by the Amiga community to replace aging CRT monitors (mostly 1084 models, commonly used with the CoCo3 -- I used a 1084S -- it's a rebranded Magnavox 8CM515).
