Well, yeah.  I do realize that.  How much room do you have on your PIC
chip?  It's been a while since I've examined the CoCo 3 Tech Ref, but
I'd expect the problem with adding contexts is that the GIME might not
have the extra bits in its I/O ports to talk about additional contexts.

Admittedly, you probably want to get your PIC GIME replacement running
as a stock GIME first, then see how much room you have left for extra
goodies.
