[Coco] RadioShack returns...

[Bill Pierce]

How about a Coco kit? This would be a great project for RS. To be able to build an emulation of one of their most popular computers with their parts. The kit would include the main board (any of the afore mentioned solutions) a simple keyboard, a card reader able to read "dsk" and "vhd" files, mouse connector (mouse could be included as a kit), connections for adding boards to support old joysticks, modems (serial or rs232 for DW), and carts, and a monitor out (hdmi, vga, etc. which ever the board supported).
What better digital electronics educational kit than a Coco?

Although a coco or coco emulator would be great, after some thought I would like 
them to bring back the educational electronic kits I had when I was a kid.  The 
ones where that had lessions and you built up the circuits using pieces of wire 
and the connections were small springs.

I know the electronic world is all about digital, microcontrollers, computers, 
etc, but to really understand how to build things they need to start at the 
basics.  Those kits were great hands on learning tools.
