He did make a cryptic comment after kickstarter failed that suggested he was 
still working on a hardware platform, but I've heard nothing since. Keep in 
mind that Gary has other retro interests besides the Coco - he did an 
AppleFPGA for instance - so perhaps he's following those other interests?

To be honest, I've been out of the 'FPGA emulation loop' for about a year 
now, concentrating on my other projects (like Lode Runner and Neo Geo) and 
raising a toddler and running a business.

At some point when my Neo Geo FPGA prototype platform comes together, I'll 
be working on spin-off projects and a Coco motherboard replacement is high 
on that spin-off list... but we're talking a couple of years from now before 
that sees the light of day. I simply don't have the time with a toddler and 
another in the oven... but I'm working towards getting my business to the 
point where I can spend 2-3 full days/week working on retro projects and the 
other days managing the business.

Regards,
