[Coco] CoCo3.org

[Patrick Ulland]

With a domain like CoCo3.org I have to mention our (CoNect & friends) 
project, the CoCoIO ethernet card for CoCo 1,2, or 3. It’s purpose is to 
connect your CoCo to your cable modem with a cable and do networky 
things free of PI or PC, just because. The hardware has limitations, 
mainly, Protector boards don't like us. News to come.

  The idea has limitations also. First, no ssh or https. If you own a 
domain, this is easy (hint hint). The danger is to a client on a 
mainstream PC, not server or CoCo. Don’t advertise to those normys from 
a regular home page, we’ll pass the secret link on Discord or something. 
For their own good.

  The other issue is what a OS9 CoCo can do. My original demo was a 
quasi web browser, expect fall release of an alpha app that is a little 
less demo and could actually consume content on a CoCo3 (2 with 
goodies). We’ve got a pretty good idea what subset of HTML1.1 a CoCo can 
readily absorb, and how to write pages to serve it. Random thoughts at 
https://computerconect.com/blogs/news/to-the-web . Pages the CoCo3 can 
render at http://play-classics.net/cocoio/index.html . Shrink your PC 
browser to smallest width and 24ish lines for a CC3 approximation.

  While there is RAM left;-) it would be good the hear other peoples ideas.

Thanks!

However until just a few weeks ago, I had been mixing info on other retro computers, modern and retro electronics, and FPGA programming.  I’ve decided to remove those items and move them to another site and leave CoCo3.org for the CoCo3 and related computers (1, 2, MC-10) only.
