    The 6809 / 6803 are probably the best 8 bit CPUs ever made. 100 pure Moto goodness. CoCo 3 is interesting because it's got some graphics mojo, but it's also very well designed from a systems standpoint. Cart slot, BASIC, RE-232, DISK, etc... are all open and flexible. I'm looking forward to really using the machine a little, and will connect a Propeller to it soon.

If it were not for some well known character here, just annoying the crap outta me, I would never have went back down that road.

    Hi PotatoHead.
    Yeah now we are truly seeing the potential in this 256 artifact mode on the coco 3. Those pics I took really showcase the power that was inside the gime chip. Glad you left that post about conjecture ideas for the 256 color mode. Or I would not have tried out your ideas.
