1>Athena is a CoCo 3 replica board and being a fan of the BSG reboot and this being a clone board, I named it after "Athena" the good clonerather than "Boomer" the bad clone. Yes I know they are cylons but they are clones.....
You can get the kiCAD project from the bit-preserve project and order the boards from your favorite PCB manufacturer.

Allen,
I'm sure other more knowledgeable folks will reply. But I do know of two
things:
1> I saw a new CoCo motherboard at CoCoFest. I'm not sure if it was a 2
or 3, but a project like this is definitely out there. The project name
escapes me, however, it's something like Athena. Or some greek god name.
I want to say John of 3D printer coco raspberry pi400 cases fame had it
with him. I do believe it's early on in the project.....
2> CoCo3 FPGA. It's a reimplementation inside an FGPA. Not exactly the
same thing because of the form factor, but still pretty useful and
relevant, I think.
Hope that helps,
Keith
