[Coco] CoCoVGA release 0.89 - Software-configurable characters

[Brendan Donahe]

Oswaldo, what is CoCoVGA 1.00?  I never made such a release.

Are you thinking of a different project, perhaps, maybe one related to the
CoCo 3?

If you're talking about the joint project between me and Ed Snider, this is
an update to the onboard logic device, the FPGA which can be updated via
software on a PC and a cable.
