Never felt there was much acceptance so nothing done more than a feasability study. james --- I think any Coco 4 should be in the form of an emulator. There are several open source Coco 1,2 & 3 emulators available. Start with them and add bits and pieces of other emulated systems. The code is already written, all you need to do is piece it together. Want a Coco 4 with 4096 colors? Cannibalize the code written for an Amiga emulator. Want a better/faster 6809? The possibilities are endless.
