All that memory, and big graphics screens…  Now you need speed beyond a 1.78MHz CPU.   :)- Ed> On Oct 6, 2017, at 12:08 PM, Bill Pierce via Coco <coco at maltedmedia.com> wrote> > But, but, I wanna brag too....

Of course this would mean adding a new graphics circuit with VGA capabilities.... This gives creedence to the need for all that memory... BIG graphics screens!!> Yes, I know, that's a whole new board design and a lot to ask for, but we already have a VGA design and the GIME has been emulated in FPGA on several boards, so we just need the graphics capabilities. The design of the Coco3FPGA is a good reference of moving "forward" to a new Coco 3 and maintaining backwards compatibility.> > > > > Bill Pierce> "Charlie stole the handle, and the train it won't stop going, no way to slow down!" - Ian Anderson - Jethro Tull> -- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
