[Coco] CoCo3FPGA new 640x450 256-color graphic mode

[James Ross]

This is all VERY COOL indeed! 

I've enjoyed following all the messages on the list, but I especially have enjoyed the messages related to FPGA's (all projects).  Good work to all those involved.  I really like the direction that the CoCo3FPGA is heading.  Someday down the road (may not happen until next year), I will definitely be getting one of these. 

Electronics, especially digital electronics (and arcade games), are what got me interested in computers to begin with.   I would love someday to re-learn / learn electronics from the ground-up and also learn how to program these FPGA's.
