[Color Computer] [coco] Learning MW C

[jdaggett at gate.net]

I still believe that controlling stepper motors , especially microstepping, 
should not be done in software on the COCO. Instead, external hardware to 
form a arbitrary funtion generator would help the COCO emensely. Then the 
contrtol routines only have to read the position encoders and adjust the 
waveform accordingly.  This can be done very easy in either C or assembly.
