[Coco] Floppy days by Randy Kindig CoCo and 6809

[Brian Wieseler]

Randy and Carlos,  I really enjoyed the first episode and look forward to the second.   Of course you can never go wrong talking about the CoCo but I might be a little bias.  

But it would be interesting to have a discussion about all the systems that used the 6809 and how they were similar but different in their own way.  
Thanks

There are a lot of similarities and synergies between the PC6001 and CoCo and I thought you did a great job of talking about those.  I really appreciate your amazing job of providing color (see what I did there?? :) ) for the episode.
