[Coco] [Color Computer] c64 taking making a comback!?

[Steve Bjork]

Well, the system I tested VCC on was clocking with both very fast CPU 
and Memory. (Used for Video Transcoding.) The extra cores don't help 
much since the program was not design to use more than one core.  (Yes 
the extra cores run windows 7 and background stuff so the core is 
working 100% on VCC.)

My problem with the CoCo3FPGA project it has never graduated from FPGA 
development board stage.  Jeri did take her C-One FPGA development board 
project to the C64 Direct-to-TV that can be used by Non-Techie or hacked 
to get all the goodness of the Commodore 64 out of it.

I hope someday the CoCo3FPGA project will move from the development 
stage into the hands of the non-hackers.
