Thanks for all the replies so far. Please note my original message, I do not have a
television. I prefer to buy or build an adapter if that is possible. I looked at the
amazon link but it talks about HDMI (none of my monitors support it afaik, they are all
dvi and dsib) and S-video. I don't know what S-video is either. Obviously the old COCO
I have is not going to be used for any demanding video, but it does support color. Thanks
again.

I have an old COCO II somewhere but I don't have a

device to convert the TV out from those computers to D-Sub or dare to dream, DVI? What do
you call such a converter? Thanks.
I should have mentioned: if the video output is anything like the original Nintendo,
it's going to look much better on a crappy old analog TV than anything else because of
the lovely low-pass filter the loose tolerances and shoddy electronics provide. :-)
