[Coco] CoCo experimenter/prototyping board

[Bill Pierce]

Andrew (and others)
Kip Koon has already made up a board that is just a "card" with pads to connect a project board. I think he said it had room for a 40 pin header for interfacing. If someone would use his board and make a ribbon cable attatchment to a project board, that would be great.
I'm pretty sure he said his "slot extender card" is on OSH park. I don't know the link or name so Kip needs to post that.

Nick,

I would love to have one (or more) boards of this nature; in fact, I was 
seriously considering purchasing some of the EPROM boards for 
repurposing them in such a manner.

If you do make such a board, a suggestion I would have would be to allow 
for the easy addition (if wanted) of some way to buffer the CPU lines, 
in a way like the Cloud9 ProTector setup (IIRC). I don't know what this 
would take, or how difficult it would be to route a board for it (might 
have to go to a larger board size?) - but it would be one thing that 
would make me less hesitant about interfacing stuff to my CoCo...
