~ Frank,

I don't think Paul would contract out on you (snicker) After all you two are
taking different approaches on the new machines and each has its advantages and
disadvantages. What one person would see as not practical on one machine the
other fills the bill (IE: yours allows users to continue to use all there
current CoCo hardware and later decide to upgrade) where the MM/1 replaces most
of it (but some expensive parts are preserved thank god!) Some won't want to
move to OSK or OS9 so yours allows RSDOS compatability since it is a CoCo3 that
is souped up and fixed the brain-damaged parts (like reul serial ports and not
a bitbanger and a real keyboard w/o expensive adaptors) but the MM/1 is a more
one-piece system with more standard hardware for those who will take the jump
sooner... so in a sense your nrt fighting each other. with TWO new machines it
will sastify a wider variety of users and benefit us ALL in the end.

Do you see my point?

Mike Guzzi
