[Coco] Today, I have seen the CoCo 4...

[Aaron Wolfe]

Let me second Boisy in saying this is awesome.  Thank you Gary, you've
done an amazing job with this.

Something just feels "right" about running the CoCo this way.  I've
actually spent a few hours typing in BASIC code just to watch it run,
something no emulator has ever inspired me to do.  It's a very
authentic experience.

Thanks Gary!

When I get time and to develop an IO board with the additional serial port and Joystick interface, I might switch over to the DE1. I just wish it had a little more SRAM.
