[Coco] Announcing CoCoCloud (aka DriveWire 5)

[Bill Pierce]

Aaron... Sign me up for 6 "Premium" accounts, 3 for ,my Cocos and 3 for my emulators. I will be upgrading too Joel's 68009 processor on the Coco 1, 2 , & 3 and replacing the bitbanger with a 1000 MIP ethernet upgrade that'll connect DW5 at 1.5g (super turbo mode). I also heard there was a FaceBook app (you have to be logged into the Coco FacBook page to use it) that allows you to send the MIDI data from the Coco to the CocoCloud and the app locates the online MP3 and streams it back to play Garth Brook's "I Got Friends In Low Places" through the Coco DAC (of which theres now a 24-bit chip that's a drop-in replacement for the old Coco DAC).
This along with the new color modes I'll be viewing everything on my 2160p 72" LavaPlasma TV/Monitor I just bought at Best Lie. They work well with a Coco but you have the cross the H-Sync with a 220 volt line source and wire the V-Sync to the TV's Audio out as that's the way they're doing it in China now due to the failure of the Japneese electronics market.

BTW... will the CocoCloud be supporting the new VHC format (Virtual Hard Cloud)?

Greetings CoCoNuts,

I am very excited to let everyone know about the latest in DriveWire
developments:  the CoCoCloud.  This project was originally intended to
be DriveWire 5, but I have changed the name to reflect the new cloud
based design.

This all new DriveWire extends the capabilities of DW4 into the next
century and beyond.  For starters, all disk images and all serial
processing are done in the cloud.  No more worrying about local
storage or organization of your OS9 or DECB disks.  A convenient
wizard based CoCoCloud Client (CCCC) will upload all relevant files
and information to our cloud based system, where you can access them
from anywhere with internet connectivity.  The CCCC also automatically
detects local CoCos and preconfigures your account* for maximum
compatibility.

Because all serial connections are now handled off site, you will need
a small adapter that plugs into your CoCo or FPGA board and converts
the local data exchange for online compatibility.  They come in both
male and female versions and in a variety of exciting colors.  In the
coming months we will introduce the CloudCoCo, which removes the need
for a local Color Computer altogether.

*CoCoCloud accounts can be authenticated via your choice of Facebook
or Google accounts.  They link automatically when you first log in.

-Aaron
