I wasn't thinking of 20Mhz+

The CoCo has survived on 1.78Mhz for over 20 years. Even a jump to 4Mhz 
would be significant, 8 would be super.

Of course, the bottleneck will always be the GIME in such an upgrade to 
an existing CoCo3.

Like I said, even a small increase helps, nothing too adventurous. The 
idea is that such a mod would be low cost and affordable by all. It may 
be able to use a smaller and lower cost FPGA or even a microcontroller.

Not much point creating a Super CoCo that is priced beyond most peoples 
expectation of a small hobby retro computer.
