Hi Mark, and welcme back to the Coco Community. As you will see, there are stil quite a few of us still around and quite a few innovations to our beloved Coco. "We've come a long way baby". If you remember where that quote came from, you're old enough to fit right in here :-)
Here's a few links to get you started.
Cloud 9 - The place to still buy Coco hardware.. new and used.
http://www.cloud9tech.com
DriveWire - All I can say is... WOW... Best thing since the disk drive was invented
http://sites.google.com/site/drivewire4/
If you're into OS-9... NitrOS-9 is still currently developed and updated by the community for Coco 1, 2 & 3

Need documentation? Most of the old Coco books have been scanned and are available in PDF format.

Miss the old Coco magazines? You'll find them here

Once you connect DriveWire above... you'll need software :-)

Want a good Coco 3 emulator for Windows?

How about a Coco FaceBook page? Yep, we got TWO!

You like IRC chatting? Here's the Coco IRC
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=coco_chat
One of several WIKI sites

Ever use a Dragon? Dragon and Coco 2 emulator (most PC platforms)

Well.... I got tire of going through my links :-)
If you need anything, ask here and on the FB pages. You will most likely get a quick reply, or an argument on VDG chips or GIMI chips, or a lecture about "not supplying enough information" LOL
Oh yeah.... I almost forgot. There's always my sites below. A small history of Color Coputer Music and blogs of my current software projects.
Until next time... Keep your IQ at 6809
