The Sparkfun module is actually designed by Olimex and in the current form uses only 4 
IRQs and no DMA. 

This modlue will require external circuitry to interface directly to the COCO expansion buss.

Needed items are

1) a priority encoder - rather simple to design and implement

2) Essentially an ISA bus interface. Already available.  

3) software, software and more software.
