[Coco] CoCo3 FPGA project analog boards

[Dave Philipsen]

Just chiming in.  Gary discussed it a little with me and that is his plan.  In fact, I'm pretty sure that the preliminary version I'm working with now with the analog board does not use the onboard SRAM.  It's only presently using one of the two meg chips and when I boot NitrOS9 it reports 2 megs.
