[Coco] Possible Coco patent?

[John Donaldson]

Another COCO I clone was done back in the 80's. Being a private pilot, I 
came across a device for Cessna 172/182's. It was a color weather radar. 
I got the chance to look at the electronics was was surpised to see it 
contained a 6809 and the VDG chip. Then all of a sudden the display made 
sense. It was a semi-graphic display with text. Looking even closer, it 
looked like a repackaged COCO1. LOL The weather data was sent via a 
sub-channel of local FM broadcast stations..I took one of these to my 
local COCO club and demoed it.

No information is given as to what kind of files I'm trying to read, and I'm sure as hell not going to boot windoze to see if internet exploder will do the job.  Not for a government website.
