[Coco] Looking for I/O specs for DECB,Nitros,.....

[Alan Jones]

Brett,
Thanks for your reply. I know nothing about pre-ansi forth. I started to 
get interested in FORTH a couple of months ago. My real CoCo is back in 
Ohio in storage, so my testing platform here is my desktop or laptop 
running MESS emulator. It sounds like your F83 project might be 
compatible with Roger Taylor's Rainbow IDE. What do you think Roger?
