[Coco] Including an SSC

[S Klammer]

Waiting to see what Darren's "light bulb moment" will potentially bring to
his CocoSDC.

Five is a small number... does that lessen the usefulness of an added
function?  :)  As one, I have to accept (with no animosity), if it does.

I'd agree an expansion header *would be* nice.

I don't think Darren's work would be exploited for profit - I'd think that
it is too specific to the Coco to make it into a retirement plan... :)
(Although, he would deserve it)... I do not have all the skills, yet, I
would still be interested in seeing/learning the details of Darren's design.
