Sound/Speech or the Orchestra-90... which ever is supported by more software.
When you do the floppy interface please use DIPs for the signal drivers so the board is more easily repaired.
Thanks!

It's brainstorming time! If you had just one program pak combining all of the expansion features you wanted for a CoCo, just what features would it include? To get the ball rolling, here's my list:

* SD card slot for storage
* Real floppy drive interface
* Floppy emulation
* Hard drive emulation
* Load ROM images from SD card
* RS-232 port
* Battery-backed real-time clock
* Network connectivity (maybe WiFi, maybe Ethernet)

Are there any other desirable features that I have overlooked?
