[Coco] CoCo3FPGA, FPGA Development, and GIME replacement

[Nick Marentes]

Couldn't help noticing the words "GIME replacement" in the heading.

Is there someone creating a GIME chip replacement (as opposed to a whole 
CoCo3/4)?

The whole FPGA/CoCo4 thing has been going on for years. I was just 
wondering if at the end of it, will there be an affordable CoCo4 main 
board made available?

I always thought that, if it was possible, just an upgraded GIME chip 
replacement (plug in board?) with enhanced features (more colors, 
graphics acceleration etc) was the best and cheapest means to a CoCo4 
rather than reinvent the *whole* wheel.

I guess that FPGA would give us a faster CPU for all that new software 
that is to be developed. (there will be won't there?)  :)
