[Coco] Why haven't we got this?!!

[Bill Pierce]

Nick,
The basic UI may run on the original hardware, but not at the speeds and mem size they are reporting on the website. I could do the same right here on the Coco in Nitros9, but it would be slow and clunky, having nothing to do with nitros9, but because of the cpu speed, drive speed, and memory usage.
There is also talk on the website of hardware addons... turbo chargers, ide interfaces and such....
hmmmm.... again, all that sounds familiar 

As I said earlier... just wait... it's coming :-)

Yeah. I'm sure they have got an FPGA version that runs faster giving an
Atari ST/Amiga speed but those YouTube videos expressly state an Amstrad
6128. In one video, you actually see the 6128.
