Bob,

Probably but there is space in the map for larger devices and without stepping on the legacy ones.

SuperBoard has a dual port 16550, plus a bidirectional parallel port  on it. So that would be 16 IO bytes for the ACEs, not a problem and doesn't step on anything.

Regards,

I wonder if there's some software/hardware way to extend the I/O address 
range of the Coco in a similar way to the sideways ROM/RAM in the BBC 
computer?
