James:

Considering what those of us put out towards the 
Superboard (which is worth it by the way :) I know I would 
pay around $200 for a CoCo replica.

I paid that much of an Mac Emulator for the Atari ST that 
was nothing more than a bank of ROMs.  This Apple 1 clone 
seems to be more than just a bank of ROMs.
