The webmaster's son is actually playing 'Mary and the Butterflies' (a CoCo 3 game) on a Compaq IA-1 Internet Appliance. That's right. This mini-PC can become a CoCo emulator by using a little elbow grease. A 2gig MS-DOS bootable CompactFlash card holds all the goodies. This project was well worth the effort and initial research headaches, but the hardest work is over. Once you have a CF card set up correctly, you can add more files to it from Linux or Windows and move it back over to the IA-1. I can't wait to play around with NitrOS-9 on this thing. 
Occasionally someone invents something very impressive but due to low exposure we often aren't aware of these cool CoCo gadgets. How about an entire CoCo 3 on a small board? The CoCo3FPGA pictured here allows a VGA monitor and PC keyboard to be attached, and it provides floppy disk access via a special 115.2K serial port patch to the built-in Disk Extended Color BASIC "ROM". 
Can't find a CM-8 RGB monitor for your CoCo 3? Have no fear... Roy Justus is here. This guy has created an extremely cool RGB to VGA converter box! The video output is very nice and colorful. Pictured here is one of CoCo3.com's newest wide-screen 'VGA' LCD monitors hooked up to a CoCo 3. No problem!
REAL Donkey Kong for the CoCo 3! That's right - Sock Master (John Kowalski) has done it again and released another 'undoable' CoCo jewel. This game is an actual translation of the original Donkey Kong source code. He took the game binary and converted it into compatible CoCo opcodes, and the result is the actual Donkey Kong game as it is was originally experienced in the arcade cabinets.
