[Coco] CoCo 3 Schematic

Sat Apr 11 21:26:30 EDT 2009

Hi Boisy,

Like many other people / projects that've come to this list with big ideas [and gone], it'll probably remain incomplete for some time.  I haven't had a chance to sit down and write for over a year -- I started writing the book when I was between jobs and have been occupied since then.  There were a few hardware projects on that website (and others not mentioned which are scribbled in my notes elsewhere) which are also indefinitely on hold.

My schedule doesn't seem to be getting any lighter, but we'll see where I'm at in 5 months or so.  I try to find time to go through the posts on this list with the hope that something will give me enough ammo to convince the wife to let me dust off my CoCo on a weekend.  I really envy everyone (including yourself) that contributes to this community -- stumbling across this list about 2 years ago reminded me of my CoCo, encouraged me to buy another, and brought back a childhood memory.  (I received my CoCo3 when I was 8 -- old enough to star in one of those cheesy Radio Shack commercials of the time.)

Kind Regards,

Ty
