Feedback (0:51:48)
- "I have minimal interest in non-OS-9 software for the CoCo, and I can't say that preserving the design shortcuts Tandy took to burden the CPU in every possible way strikes me as a laudable goal. I want to see the 6[83]09 with as much of the burden of I/O and graphics removed from it as possible." -- James Jones
