[Coco] Re: Is this a discussion about a new Coco?

[Diego Barizo]

I think that the CPU is what makes the computer
80x86=PC, take the CPU out, change it for a not compatible one, and you 
don't have a PC anymore
The Amiga is not a "Super" Commodore because of the different CPU... I 
think....
A computer that wouldn't be ML compatible with the CoCo, could never be 
a CoCo
That's why, of all the CoCo 4 projects I've ever heard about, my 
favorite is the one in SockMaster's page
http://www.axess.com/twilight/sock/cocofile/coco4.html
(I guess the picture helps :-) )

But the superboard _*[is]*_ a CoCo4 as much as anything else
