I have a CM-8 and it works really well with my CoCo 3, but here is a
suggestion from my friend, which I thought I'd pass-on.
 
He bought the MAGNAVOX RGB 8515 monitor and writes, "It's much better
(than the CM-8 or a composite monitor), plus it has composite input, so
you can use all your old programs that artifact. Just hit a button on
the front to switch. It also has monochrome emulation."
 
Evidently, the Magnavox 8515 requires a special cable. MARTYGOODMAN
on Delphi has some, so you can contact him. The Magnavox is NOT cheaper
than the CM-8, especially after you add the cable into the price, but
it seems to be slightly better.
 
In any case, I really like the CM-8. If you want one, MicroWorld has
the CM-8 for only $248 INCLUDING shipping & handling. See their ad in
Rainbow.
 
Hope this info helps!  For more info, contact me, or write to my friend
MIKE88 on Delphi.
