Not to poo-poo your idea, but in this regard I'm kind-of with Steve. If 
you're going to off-load your graphics to another system, then to my way 
of thinking you're really just connecting another computer to the Coco for 
the sake of it. At what point does it cease being a Coco - even in spirit 
- and become something else entirely?

Anyway, we've been down this path dozens of times before, and your idea is 
no more "correct" or "wrong" than mine or any other; each to his/her own.
