  but certainly something
like an MCC-216, a low-cost programmable FPGA device, probably would,
especially since it both encourages a type of hacking and is something that
could be sold as a straight up product for non-casual consumers. The
MCC-216, for example, presently runs ZX Spectrum, C-64, Amiga, Apple II,
and Atari 2600 cores. No reason we couldn't eventually have CoCo family
cores created at some point...

And something like that is probably precisely what would fit with RadioShack, if it could be done affordably. They could launch it with emulation layers to act like all the old RadioShack computers, and tie it in to an anniversary

========================================

I just looked this up. If it will support Amiga emulation it will support the CoCo3.

 From the developer's website:

4) Which Classic Computers
are next for the MCC?

Today, our focus is on emulating the Commodore C64, AMIGA and the ATARI 
2600.
However, we are always open to additional suggestions regarding the 
classic computer.
If you have suggestions for additional cores you would like to see, 
please send us an email.

If you have developed a classic computer written for an FPGA (Verilog or 
VHDL),
please contact us and view the development section of this page.

If you would like to get a special developer version of the Multiple 
Classic Computer hardware and a Software Development Kit (SDK) to get 
started with VHDL or C

If you are interested in some development with the Multiple Classic 
Computerand would like more details, please contact us.

If you have expertise in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) design or 
ASIC design experience and/or own a classic computer design, we would be 
happy to talk to you.

This info and details can be found at http://mcc-home.com/4.html

These things are $149 at http://www.ebay.com/sch/merchant/arcaderetrogaming
The S-video version is listed, but they have a VGA output version as 
well. Should be same price??
