There was a limit placed on not only the design of the GIME but on the
CoCo 3 design as a whole.

While the CoCo community saw the CoCo 3 as a new and better version of
the CoCo, it was really a just a cost reduced version of the CoCo 2.

Thanks, Steve B.  This was a very fascinating account of events as they 
occurred during the development of the Coco3.  I appreciate your insight and 
in relating these considerations.  Great stuff !!
