Feh. If you were any good, you'd be able to connect an Ethernet
controller to it, and port a TCP/IP stack to the thing. I managed to
wrire-wrap a board for HP's HP-IL interface chip (the 1LB3) and an
EEPROM. I put an HP-IL controller into the EEPROM so I could use HP's
HP-IL tape drive to load and save programs. The CoCo3 was an
excellent hacker's computer, and HP an excellent hacker's company.
