[Coco] OS-9 80-column driver is ready

[Al Hartman]

Well, it was basically a whole CP/M computer that used the Coco for a 
terminal and I/O.

It was called the Color Power II, made not far from me in New Jersey (my 
Aunt lives in the same town.)

There's an ad for it in the October 1984 Rainbow, page 9.

And, there was another called The Coco Coupler, a review is in the same 
issue of Rainbow page 232.

I don't know which one was better.

Now there is something I would love to have.  I have the MicroSoft
Soft Card for the Apple2/e.  It's actually the only reason I kept
that Apple 2 (well, that and maybe Apple/UCSD Pascal).  I always
wanted the Z80 module for the PDP-11 as well but never found one.

Oh yeah, I would probably be interested in a few of those 80 column
cards, too.  :-)
