[Coco] MSX so far... Future CoCo maybe?

Considering the advancement in FPGAs over the past couple of years, this is not 
a major surprise. It is not unusual to see older CPUs gain 3 to 5 fold speed 
improvments with the newer generation of FPGAs. In fact  if someone were to 
redo most of the old 8 bit processors on submicron technology of today, a speed 
increase of up to 10x to 20x could easily be had. If speed increase is not a main 
concern then with current 90nM technology, the die size can either be reduced or 
huge integration of perripheral into one chip is doable. This is given one has the 
desire and monetary resources.
