[Coco] CoCo3FPGA, FPGA Development, and GIME replacement

[Boisy G. Pitre]

Gary's latest CoCo3FGPA project is a good start on a CoCo 4.  He's added more video modes with more colors per screen and higher resolution graphics.

Nick, I would think you could write some killer games on it.  My guess is you would have to do it for the sheer challenge and fun, and not for the $$$.
