[Coco] CoCo3 FPGA project analog boards

[Zippster]

It should be Stephen.

New DE1 boards are available from Digikey and Terasic.  They may have an incompatible RAM
chip on board.  Dave has been replacing these with a CoCo3 FPGA compatible chip.  He also
sells refurbished DE1s suitable for the project as well, subject to when he’s able to acquire units.

I’m willing to swap the RAM out as well for people to help availability.

I’ll be doing the analog boards, and making any revisions necessary to ensure they will stack
and attach properly with the DE1 board, plexiglass cover at the top of the stack, with the proper
standoffs, screws, nylon washers, whatever is required.
