[Coco] 8k/16k bankable EPROM cartrdige board

Sun Sep 7 21:17:03 EDT 2014

Well lets work on the 40 pin since its what we need. I can make
modifications for 34 & 50 pin variants so no cutting will be required..if
the 40 pin version is good starting point.

Sure, make a 40 and 50 pin wide quick design, to see the price.
