That is a BIG task.....  I would imagine that at least 75% of what Gary 
is doing on the CoCo3FPGA is the synthesis of the GIME.

I have seen adapters made to plug into PLCC sockets like the one for the 
GIME.

You could have an option for doubling the scan lines for a crisper text mode look, creating a higher resolution font that is still 32x16 but smoother, lower-case option, fix some of the undocumented SG modes, etc.
