The CoCo3 emulator is now available.  Minimum equipment requirements are
spelled out in the documentation for the CoCo2 emulator (see the following
message from the author, Jeff Vavasour) but are basically a 286 with VGA.  The
emulator, like the CoCo2 emulator, also requires that you have a legal copy of
the CoCo ROM code. The CoCo3 emulator has been tested with OS9 LII, as well as
a number of games.

Well, with others putting out notices about the CoCo 3 emulator, there are a
few things I feel I should post to clear up:

1. The CoCo 3 emulator is available only by registration.

2. Registration info is found in the *new* ver 1.40 release of the CoCo 2
   emulator, which should appear on SimTel FTP mirror sites shortly.  The
   file is coco2-14.zip (*not* coco2-13.zip).  One SimTel site is
   oak.oakland.edu, the directory is pub/msdos/emulator.

3. Those who contributed to Rick Cooper's CoCo Emulator Bounty Escrow Fund
   will receive credit up to the full value of the registration fee, $25.
   (I'm taking the monthly report in CFDM's Forum as authoritative on who
   contributed, and how much.  Please contact Rick if there is any error in
   your entry in this report.)

4. Those who contributed in excess of the $25 to the Fund will receive a
   typeset printed version of the manual with their copy.  (This is a bounus
   available *only* to those who contributed to the Fund in excess of $25.)

5. Those who did not contribute to the Fund may obtain a copy of the emulator
   for $25 by following the instructions in Section 8 of the CoCo 2 emulator's
   documentation.  (The file is COCO.DOC in coco2-14.zip.)

6. Please take time to follow verify that you have the correct system
   requirements by reading the COCO.DOC file and following the test procedure
   for your VGA card and disk drives.

Please feel free to repost this message anywhere you can.  There appear to be
rumours and speculation circulating already, which I'd like to clear up.
