[Coco] Saw this on redit

[tim franklinlabs.com]

   I'm not sure this is a true "reverse engineering" system. It looks like
   he got the parts list (clearly available) and hand built his own CoCo.
   Not to say that that isn't a noble challenge but it's really not RE. I
   would wonder more why would one do it? I guess the only answer I could
   think of would be 'just to have something to do'.

   I don't have a redit account, and have no intention of getting one to
   add

   to my ready supply of daily spam.

   So I can't see that bit of handiwork, but that doesn't stop me from

   doffing my hat in respect as I've done things like that in the distant

   past when my mind was a bit more agile. The most difficult and time

   burning part is getting into the original builder/coders head. Fail at

   that, and the project will likely fail, succeed at that, and the rest
   of

   it almost always falls into place in a few days. Much faster than your

   hands can build it.

   But to be talking to your coworker and just say, "Hey let's build a

   clone of this Color Computer. We'll just reverse engineer the

   original, make our own PCB and pop in the ROMs" That is a level to

   be admired and respected.

   Absolutely.
