[Coco] Embedded CoCo

I believe you have a very good point when you say"an embedded 
controller shouldnt need a lot of memory."In fact most 
embedded controllers I have encountered have very little RAM.
Accomplishing a single task is really the true purpose of an 
embedded "computer/controller". I for one, however would not 
wish to switch to something like Basic Stamp,PIC,etc.
You see, I already have a "Development System" for a 6809 
based embedded controller. It is called a coco (ha,ha).
But really I (and I believe others too) would like an 
adaptable embeddable controller which is based on the coco 
which we are used to. For most applications it would not need 
a lot of memory, but for some it would.
Still , for applications where a lot of memory is required 
but NOT needing 6k byte color video,Not needing a Basic 
Interpreter and such a Mini-Coco seems to be perfect.
A Basic Motherboard with a minimum of Ram,Rom,and I/O could 
then be made and each individual could add whatever options 
were wanted.
