  I'm thinking a really great, improved Coco would be simple.

  Really.


  It should have everything we are accustomed to.  The ports and the 
expansion slot.

  It should have the ability to do everything that the org Coco3 can do.

  The only thing I wish for is a faster clock speed.

  If I want graphics, I have my PC.

  If I want internet, I have my PC.

  If I want .....well... it isn't a modern PC, but.......
  I just want a faster Coco. I love my coco but, it just isn't fast 
enough for what I use it for.

  A good video driver for a modern monitor would  be a necessity, today.

  Everything else is done through the keyboard and that is good with me.
  I don't use anything but the RS232 port,  expansion slot and the keyboard.
  For other folks the joystick and serial port would be necessary. 
Otherwise, a faster, NEW Coco3 is all I need.

  Don't need anything else. No WiFi, no High speed RS 232 port, nothing 
new, improved, enhanced, fancy gizmo stuff. Just a faster Coco3 that I 
can do the stuff I do with the original(upgraded) OS9. Heck, I might 
even upgrade to Nitros9.
  Right now, there's not much point in changing over to Nitros9. I need 
more speed than it provides.

  The expansion port should be compatible with older chips..... slow!

  Then, I'll be in hog's heaven..

  There's probably some things I forgot to mention but right now, this 
comes to mind.

George
