Sorry I've been so long in getting back to you!  I assure you that I've not
forgotten you..but..I've been very busy this summer with my disk magazine
and other CoCo business...and..with letting my part of the CoCo World know
about you.  

Jeff>
Not to worry.  I just came back from my honeymoon Tuesday, and was out of
the province for three weeks before that for my wedding, etc.  I'm sure you
can imagine that I've been keeping busy too.

Rick> 
I hope you've been getting some feedback from the many Friends
who've wanted your CoCo 2 Emulator.  I'm doing my best to let folks know
about your work and there is quite abit of excitment because of it.

Jeff> 
I've received quite a number of letters regarding it actually.  I'm impresed.

Rick> 
I can't tell you everything right now..but, just today one of my Friends in
Canada sent word that you have been adding features to the Emulator.  That
cheers my heart!  


Jeff> 
The upgrades include direct disk I/O, a file import/export utility, a few
bug corrections, more flexibility with the printer settings, joystick,
soundblaster support, etc.  The only thing is, I'm not sure how much of this
will go into the public domain version, and how much will be withheld for 
the registered version which should include CoCo 3 compatibility.

For the CoCo 3 emulator, I'm trying to incorporate Hitachi 6309 extended 
instruction set support (for NitrOS-9, etc.), but documentation for that
is incomplete, so I may have to scrap that idea.

Rick> 
Well best of luck in your work and please let me know how you're doing.
