[Coco] CoCo 4 - the dream continues...

[Bert & Peggy Schneider]

I know it would be great to have a CoCo 4 - but has anyone does a market
survey to find out the size of the market that would warrant the
development, production, and distribution of such a system?  Looking at
the problem from a business angle, I bet there is a big market out there
for a multi-platform (hardware emulator) for ALL old 8 bit systems.
Think about all of the baby boomers who have disposable income now that
bought the CoCo or other 8 bit systems as an older adult in the early
80s.  They are now in retirement, and want a little piece of nostalgia.
The problem with this business model is that if there are any game
cartridges, disks, and cassettes with software out there - it is
probably limited.

Just expanding a bit on SockMaster's excellent idea for a CoCo4 (
http://www.axess.com/twilight/sock/cocofile/coco4.html)...

Would it be possible to stick only 2 6309 4Mhz cards on the 16 Mhz main
board and have the other two slots occupied by a single graphics card
running at 8Mhz, and sporting, say, a HD63484? Now then you would have
some
awesome graphics capabilities!

I am sorry, just me daydreaming... ;-)

Cheers,

Fedor
