[Coco] Nick's Survey results

[peak at mail.polarcomm.com]

I for one would love to see a centralized site for COCO. Not 
just for games though. If Nitros9 is free then where do I get 
it? The coco all versions would make a great little 
developement system. How about downgrading the basic roms to 
just a BIOS Placed in a small Flashable prom,64k Static ram 
using two 43256(32k x 8)chips,a serial keyboard that is NOT 
an AT keyboard interface(COCO3 matrix keyboard with scanning 
done by an encoder or a Pic processor sending serial scan 
code to only the row I/O port,then change POLCAT to read 
ASCII or other byte of key code). Making an AT keyboard 
interface seems to me to be an excessive use of both hardware 
and software just to have a lap keyboard that is transparent 
to coco. Also perhaps an 8-bit ISA type slot or two.
