Hi James,

If you're willing to open the source code, I'd be happy to bug test it
for you on my Digilent development board. :)

I am currently looking at doin gthe GIME in an FPGA and doing
some major enhancements to the video section. So far very
promising. Then you can dump a 6809 CPU into another FPGA and
basically there it is a coco on two chips and I/O 3.3 volt tolerant and
the core runs at 1.8 VDC. Nice operation for a laptop type scenario.
