<sigh...> nevermind...  Didn't see the config.xml setting for "log 
opcodes".  So, it looks like the real CoCo is communicating properly and 
getting an image with incompatible drivers.

Now that logging is working, I went back to the fpga.  It shows DoOP_Init 
at power up and.. that's it.  After bitstream download or reset, it shows 
a single init message and hangs.

The May 2011 bitstream won't even display 'CoCo' on the LCDs, so there's 
definitely something wrong there.

More head-banging to follow.
