  • CoCo 2 RGB modification?

    From Poop Man@poopman@firemail.cc to comp.sys.tandy on Thu Jul 16 00:38:48 2020

    I was wondering if there was an RGB modification for the CoCo 2.

    Based upon the "news" page and the main page -- these are produced in small batches, probably whenever they get enough orders to justify having boards produced.

    10/9/2017 initial boards sold out, new batch on the way
    4/21/2018 kits for revB CoCo2 still available
    11/13/2018 6847T1 compatible kits in early development
    8/22/2019 100th kit sold

    So... they've sold just 100 kits over a two year period. The main page has:
    """
    What is CoCoVGA's availability?

    Kits for some types of Color Computers 1 and 2 and the Dragon are
    available! Contact us for more information.
    """
    where "Contact us" is a link to a form for submitting a short message.

    I can attest the units are still in production. Ed and Brendan do make
    them in small batches, but they do so regularly.
