james,

Where did you get the dated pricing information from? :) I was being  
sarcastic on my $0.01 price reference. Where you? :)

If the LSTTL is not being used as the pull up and the 68x21 doesn't  
have configurable pullups. How does the circuit guarantee a hi level  
for the CoCo3 keyboard interface?

They also wire OR'd the joy ports in as well. Again proving that the A  
side port must be pulled hi. What am I missing?
