[Coco] Kipper SBC v1.1

[Kip Koon]

Hi Guys,

I have added the Video Display Terminal and PS/2 Keyboard to the MC68B50
ACIA chip and removed the MAX-232 Voltage Translator chip and the RS-232
connector since the Terminal/Keyboard use the MC68B50 chip to communicate
serially with the host.  

I added the mod for the !RTS line, but with the connector gone, I'm not sure
if it is needed any more.  Perhaps someone less tired than I can verify if
it's still needed.

I divided the $A000-BFFF into eight separate sections, so now what was the
RS-232 port that is now the Terminal/Keyboard is addressed at $A000-$A1FF.
This leaves partially decoded address space for 7 other devices.

Here are the links to the pdfs.

I'm very tired since I've worked all night so I hope I didn't make any
mistakes.  I would not mind at all if someone wanted to check my work.  :)
As always suggestions, corrections, ideas as always welcome.  Now it's time
for me to go to . zzzzz.  Take care my friends.
