Added Vga out to the Color Classic (mystic)

Was a rather fun project. I bought a 2 Spicy O clock, new back panel, made 60 ns video ram, overclocked the 040 to 45 mhz and added a RGB amp connected to a vga socket. So it's RGBS out. Works great and I like how It turned out. Since it's 45 mhz, 60ns video ram, and a video out, I decided to call it a Color Classic IV lol.

Nice! A contemporaneous solution to this was the Presenter 575, which clips onto the video chip, grabs its signal, and outputs VGA & HD15.

That is interesting, mind posting more pictures of what you did and details?
