  Looks nice, but how tied is this to the CoCo hardware?

  All the source code is available, so I guess you could always port it if
you have the time.

  Maybe, but it sounds like Scott is going to do one too.  I don't want to
steal his idea.

  If I was going to do it I'd want some software person who was willing to
do the porting of OS/whatever to it - I just don't have the time for that
myself.

  Actually, I'd rather do a Z80-CP/M machine, but the same problem applies
(need a software person to port CP/M).
