You may be crazy for CoCo but I'd prefer someone to give me the ghost.

Ghost = Gimix Ghost - OS9 Level II, 20M drive, 2M(?) RAM, 8 serial
ports. We used to do dev work on the machine. And yes not a fair
comparison.

But I have a collection of a lot of systems (junk like TS1000 frizbees)
to my first computer, the Atari 800XL (I got it cheap in 1985).

And the TRS-80 only seemed appropriate for the Z80 machine (good machines)
and not my MC10 and CoCos. But I don't care if others call them what they
want. I know what they can do.
