Kevin,

I doubt that the Motorola parts will run at 14+MHZ if they are spec'd at
8MHZ.

I remember your project(s), not that I don't care for them. Just not for
me. I have done what you are trying to do and it is not a project to start
on. Walk before you can run. That is all. I'm all for as many CoCo projects
as people will do. GREAT machine to learn from. The board is only a small
part of the project. When I get to that part, I know I'm very close to
being done. Most of the work is done in the homework and design stage.
Follow the layout rules, terminate, impedance match and it will work as
designed.
