[Coco] An MC68HC11A1P Based Computer Idea

Yeah I knew a couple of good assembly programmers for the HC11 series also. 

The old Motorola Saber two way radio went hig wild with the HC11s. If I remember correctly 
there were (7) HC11E  processors in the radio. maybe that is why it cost about $1K to 
purchase back then.
