No, look at what I said above.  I am not interested in Atari, Amiga,
Colecovision or any game systems.  I am interested in Tandy systems
and the PDP-11.  Why would I even bother with systems i have no
interest in?

I said, right up front, that I was interested in the CoCo and the TRS-80.

And maybe working on emulating some obscure hardware on my own once I
learn how to use an FPGA.

All the talk in the group about the COCO3FPGA was what got me
started in the first place.  The way people were talking I
thought it was easily available and lots of people were working
with it.  Obviously a bad assumption on my part.  but I am easily
amused and I am sure i will find something to do with the DE-1
9and the other FPGA's I have coming.  When I jump into someting
I jump in with both feet!!)
