That's an interesting motherboard! I don't think I've seen one similar to it. Very compact. I assume the two white connectors sort of above the "PERITEL" is for a memory board? What about the two "missing" chips -- memory for a 16K version, with 64K requiring the board?
If one of you ever gets the CoCo down to a board about the size of a 5.25" floppy let me know, I could use a controller that does composite graphics! Remember the dash board idea? I'm working with a fellow who can do it with a PIC controller now. The only thing is it can't do full graphics. A 6809 in an ASIC running 10 MHz would be perfect, and if it had the capability of using a CoCo DECB ROM (even if it had to be slightly modified -- perfect would be to divert disk commands to support a memory card of some sort instead of a drive, even if the size had to be limited to the capacity of a standard CoCo floppy). It's one of those things that should have a ready market as an advanced controller capable of on-board graphics, even if limited to composit output. What about something more common, like S-video out? Do any of the automotive type LCD displays (automotive TV/DVD displays) support S-video and not just NTSC composite?
