[Coco] Just a thought

[Bill Loguidice]

(Realizing I'm contributing to the problem here, but...) I would think
there's considerable benefit in having modern hardware perfectly recreate
CoCo 1/2/3 environments, i.e., being useful as a replacement for any and
all original system configurations (and hardware) as desired. While the
mythical CoCo 4 - as with any other vintage platform getting a "next gen" -
would be cool, on its own it's a completely impractical idea considering
all of the other well supported mainstream and hobbyist platforms out there
today with large user bases/fans. However, if it has CoCo 4-like
functionality in ADDITION to replicating the previous systems, then you
suddenly have something quite interesting, with no real downside.

While I certainly don't think I speak for everyone, I *suspect* that that
would be the goal of most of us in this community for what is commonly
referred to as a "CoCo 4" in the modern sense.
