Boisy, I have been following your progress. Quite exciting.

Have you heard of Teensy? They have a $16 board ($19 with header pins) that would be nice to have plugged in to a CoCo cartridge for expanded I/O. This is the thing I am planning on using for the CoCo keyboard interface stuff since it's tiny, cheap and very low power (and programmed like Arduino).

I also have a Duo, Leonardo and Due, but I want to try to stick with the Duo or other models available at the local Radio Shack for folks to just go down and buy (though costing more).

If you would consider it, I would be interested in knowing what it would take to hook Arduino I/O pins to a CoCo somehow -- like, if I had a breadboard and I wanted to wire something up myself. I don't suppose we have any sources of CoCo compatible breadboards these days....
