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

[Bill Pierce]

 Barry, I was wondering the same thing. If I can translate the menus with some sort of "online translator", I may be able to use a hex editor and change the menu prompts. The manuals would have to be translated as well since I can't find any english pages other than the one linked. There are TONS of FM-7 pages in Japanese, including copies of "OH! FM" which was a Japanese FM-7 magazine similar to Rainbow.
It would be nice to have all this info translated.

   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.
