[Coco] COCO DTV

FYI

Microware did the software additions for the Coco 3. Microsoft did the software for 
the Coco 1/2.

To do what the C64DTV does we either have to place the whole COco3 or as 
much of it in an FPGA or create an ASIC. The later is really out of any 
individual's effort unless they have corporate funding or very deep pockets to 
afford creating a single IC with the Coco3 on it. There are some analog sections 
that won't go into a FPGA. 

Actually what I would love to kow from Microware is the source code for Coco3 
basic roms still inexistance and is there a chance it might be released to public 
domain? 

There are some minor bugs that should be cleaned up and maybe some 
improvements to work with newer hardware. While we can take the dissaembled 
code and recreate and patch the existing code, having the original source would 
be easier to work with.
