Sorry for the delay to this post but Have really been busy with 
remodling of the workshop here. Trying to get done before the 
afternoons climb into the 90's. Not much longer and the 90+ temps 
will be here. 

I have started looking at the 6502 code and deciphering it. Looks 
like for a first pass of software about 75% of the Atari code can be 
used as is. I h ave seen some ways to stream line that but will do 
that once I get something working. I have found about 1000 bytes in 
the standard Coco 3 ROM. I will at first write a machine language 
code and a basic loader for it.  

Working on an Idea to reduce some cost right now. Have not gone 
out for a PCB yet. May do that soon. Deciding if a plug in card or a 
smaller card that can mount inside and solder a few wires to the 
motherboard.


Thats all for now.
