[Coco] CoCo emulation on a Compaq Internet Appliance?

[Frank Swygert]

Hmmm... I didn't know there was a 16 and 32 bit! Vendors shouldn't use 
the two terms interchangeably, obviously, but they do. At least they 
could put in the specs whether it's 16 or 32 bit, but they all assume 
everyone is wanting the latest and greatest, they just don't care about 
us retro and "not quite cutting edge" kind of people. I can't afford 
cutting edge tech, so I get last year's model, off lease, or overstock 
stuff most of the time -- with occasional refurbished items. Just like 
cars -- I'd rather save a few years and pay cash for a 3-4 year old good 
condition one than pay top dollar for brand new! Did that once long ago, 
and when I went to trade it off for another it didn't make much 
difference, except in MY pocket!

Well, the stuff from CA Digital is older, off lease or NOS surplus, so 
it's most definitely 16 bit PCMCIA! The 2GB CF adapter doesn't have the 
gold stripe either, just the 8.1 GB hard drive.
So these should be good:

Here's a link for a CF card adapter -- $50 w/a 2GB CF card isn't bad:

>> $59. http://www.cadigital.com/pcmcia.htm.
