[Coco] [SPAM] Kicking the Z-80 butts...

[Bill Pierce]

Someone said something about dual 6809s, the Japanese version of the Coco (Fujitsu FM-7 & FM-8) had dual 6809 CPUs, 1 for oepration and one as a GPU. The memory went beyond 64k and graphics were better than the Coco 2. Many american Coco games were proted to the FM-7 and had better graphics and sound.
Here's some info (and pics) on the FM-7:

Someone here on the list has one, I just can't remember who it is.
