[Coco] Electronic Computer Festival Badge Idea

[Salvador Garcia]

Actually, I was visualizing something similar. Such a display would be an eye catcher and a wow factor when the uCoco is seen operated by using the touch screen!

I liked RETRO I's design, but have to admit that I find looking at an EPROM's exposed window just cool.

That would be really neat.  :)

Would it be too much to put one of these on there for the display?

It would make for a pretty cool badge programming possibilities.
