The Radio Shack Color Computer 2 is confusing. And
somewhat lame. I have
to go find the disk controller carthridge to attach disk drives to it.
Then I have to find the proper disk drives. Fine. But I can't figure out
the video. I want to connect it to an Amdek color monitor. The only
video jack is the RCA type on the back that seems to be a built in RF
modulator. So needless to say I don't get video on the display. I can't
find any mention on the web of adding an external monitor to the CoCo.
The CoCo2 is lame. I do not like the CoCo2.
Any idea on how to hook the CoCo2 to a composite monitor?
Hey, lets not bash the CoCo 2. It was meant only to be connected to a TV.
People used to sell composite conversion kits. But I haven't seen anything
recently. Except the rare modded CoCo 2 on eBay.
Best place to ask is on USENET: bit.listserve.coco. Someone usualy has
something tucked away in a drawer.
