Don't forget:
The Audio Support **
The Tape Support
The Bit-Banger Support ( Serial Port )
Please complete the full 6309 implementation as well (current versions 
don’t do DIVD and DIVQ, for example) - L. Curtis Boyle



Also, keep in mind the possibility of adding:
DriveWire Support through a Virtual Serial Port
Becker Port Support ( Works with DriveWire )
ESP8266 / ESP32 Support ( Networking is Becoming a Thing ;)  )


Actually the DriveWire Application could be Added into the OVCC, mainly 
the Networking Portions and Becker Port and ESP8266 / ESP32..

** The CoCo's Audio is the 6 Bit DAC, but could be enhanced with 
Orchistra-90 or Sound and Speech Pack or the new Sound Options like the 
CoCoGMC from John W. Linville or the CoCoPSG from Zippster ( Ed Snider 
), or the Mini MPI's OPL Sound from Zippster or John Strong's Sound 
Module or Allen Huffman's Sound Module..

To the best of my Knowledge, the PC Joysticks are mapped into VCC..  Any 
Joysticks should work..
