[Coco] CoCo3FPGA, FPGA Development, and GIME replacement

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Confirms that it was "Chris Burke's aborted Rocket design" not D.P. Johnson, 
my bad.

That article is a real bummer to read!!!

I may have the document that I got for my deposit.

I remember it as a CPU that shared the same memory and was controlled by the 
6809 CPU.

The price of OSK was the killing blow IMHO.

SHF

Also this popped up:

One of Gerhardt's jobs at Tandy was assistant Sysop at the Tandy COCO SIG 
(special interest group) at Compuserve.
