I can agree the Coco was not designed with FTTL parts. I can't agree that the 
current design was such to exclude FTTL parts. I can agree that running FTTL 
parts at 2 MHz is like running a Porsche 926 at 30MPH when it is designed to go 
200 MPH. Still it does waht it was designed to do,just not as fast.  

I think you are hang up on why use fster parts when the slower parts are 
adequate. True you are correct. Still the faster parts do work.

I am not trying to lecture you on the Coco design. I am well familiar with its 
workings.

I am not that fanatic or devoted to a computer. To me this is still a hobby and not 
a way of life. I piddle around and maybe come up with a few things but I don't 
care to make it more than a hobby. At least for now
