Looks like a cool project.  Do you have any more documentation or 
information about it?  I got the Java DW4 server running fine on the 
RPi.  Just got a 6A 5VDC power supply from Jameco (along with a spare) 
that should work to power both the CoCo3FPGA and the Raspberry Pi in the 
old CoCo 3 case (vacated years ago when it was all the rage to repack in 
a mini-tower).  But I could envision a use for a server in C.  Might run 
a little faster on some of the limited hardware that's just crying out 
for a new use.
