So when is someone going to get a tower case and mount a CoCo 3
motherboard inside the case along with a small PC board? A mini PC board
as a server for the CoCo all in the same case. Have the server PC double
as a terminal. Then all the CoCo would need is a connection to the PC
though the bit banger and an RS-232 pak. PC would need a couple serial
ports. Wrap it all in one transparent package! The CoCo would be sort of
an "upgrade" board for a PC... Of course this would only work for an
OS-9/Nitros system, no DECB compatibility, but sure would be a neat
set-up! Might lose some OS-9 game compatibility too.
