[Coco] Multi-Processor 6809 Computer System

A muti-processor setup, if it could be made for the CoCo, wouldn't offer 
any benefits unless code is written specifically to utilize this extra 
processor... so I would have thought.

That's why I suggested the idea of a faster 6809 made from an FPGA that 
maintained the timing required by the GIME chip for video syncronization.

This would benafit ALL existing software... if it could be done.

Something along the lines of Sock Master's 4Mhz mod but reliable if 
created with an FPGA to replace the stock 6809.

Anyone with FPGA experience confirm this possibility?

If possible, anyone in a position to try this? It could be the single 
greatest expansion option for the CoCo3.
