This is John of gimechip.com...  I have suggested to him that he
should join the list, as this is not the first time one of his items
has been talked about here.  He sent me a message which I posted here
earlier tonight listing links to a lot of things he's designed.  Seems
like a nice guy who just likes messign around with coco hardware.  I
bought a coco3 from him off ebay last year and it works fine.  Don't
know much more than that.
