[Coco] CoCoFEST! Challenge: CoCo DMA

[Matthew Stock]

Hi Jim,

Something I worked on a few years ago you might be interested in:
https://github.com/mattstock/cococpld.  It does something similar to what I
think you're working on, in that it has a SRAM attached to a CPLD, and that
memory can be accessed from both the CoCo as a ROM as well as acting like a
SPI memory device for an Arduino or similar.  I was in the process of
expanding functionality to emulate a disk drive.  When CoCo SDC came out, I
kinda lost interest in the project, but the dynamic ROM cartridge bit
worked really well.  I haven't touched it in a long time, but if I moderned
it up I might move from a CPLD to a small FPGA and put in level converters
for the 5v, which would allow a more recent version of Quartus.

Matt
