The big question mark for me is the inability to attach external  
devices.  From my point of view, support for some kind of analog  
joystick/mouse is essential (be it the pot-based original CoCo  
joysticks or something else).  A serial port of some kind would also  
be critical for Drivewire users, I should think.

If, as someone else has pointed out, the Altera DE-1 boards are being  
deprecated, it would be nice if some current FPGA implementation would  
be supported, be that the MCC-216 or something else.
