Hi there,

My reply to the discussion for coco x got lost I think, but, IMHO
would it not be easier to concentrate to replace the GIME and the 6809 (
6309 ) with FPGA. This could probably be done with a smaller FPGA ( read
cheaper ) on one board. That would take away the bottlenecks of a faster
coco. Also would get rid of the obsoleteness of those two parts. Would it
be no coco? I do not know, an iPhone stay's an iPhone no matter how modern
and fancy the guts are. The coco was a consept, and a good one. The
sentimental value is in our mind.

Keep on brainstorming guru's, just keep the prices as low as possible,
nobody is standing in line for a coco of $300...$500, no matter how hi and
amazing the specs are. Most of us want to play or work with the "old stuff"
anyway.
