The Coco sounds very intriguing, as the 6809 may be the ultimate evolution of
the 8-bit art form...  but what's this nonsense about MSDOS machines being
more powerful than a 68000?  That seems a gross overstatement at sent, at
least until the 80386 generation of machines  comes out.  From what I have
heard, a 68000 will blow away an 80286 every time!  And of course it is silly
to even speak of an 8088 in the same breath.
