[Coco] Sneak peek

[Mark Marlette]

Roger,

You know I love hardware, so I took a real close up look.

I am a bit confused.

Your web site shows the CoCoNet pak but yet you are using a RS232 pak. ??

It appears from the pak in the picture, the Blue tooth device module 
is in the upper left portion of the pak?

I admit I haven't followed the 6551 Hidden mode thread(s) that have 
occurred in the past. Unless you are making a crystal change, how 
would the RS232 pak not know how to use the hidden 115200 bps mode? 
Then it really would be that it didn't know, it just that it couldn't 
adjust the baud rate generator circuit to the numbers you placed in 
the register. ????

Can you further explain in detail?

Who did the hardware design for you? Is this james's work?

As each designer can select what ever chip set they would like. 
Curious on why you selected a 6551 vs a newer chip set that would 
have a larger built in FIFO?
