It would run off of a rom and be programmable.  Most gaming 
systems aren't programmable.  There is the X-Box Linux 
project, but my understanding is that you are better off 
getting a normal PC.  Not needing a monitor separate from 
your television has it's advantages.  The idea I found on 
the web is old, very old.  I think the first thing one 
would do is update the idea to take into account what is 
possible today.  The hard part of making a COCO compatible
computer is going to be getting the information you need
from the COCO 3.

Like I said when I offered the link, the idea needs to
be updated.
