I guess that my original idea was to include mainly those computers that
were developed and marketed primarily for the OS-9 personal user market
arguably pioneered by the CoCo -- especially those machines that made
some claim to be a "CoCo 4".  But I don't see any real reason why the
others should be excluded -- maybe just set off in a different section.

Since Blackhawk marketed the AT306 as the MM/1b, it certainly falls in
the category of an attempted CoCo successor.  And there ought to be some
place to collect the info.
