Hi.  I just thought people would be interested to know that I've just uploaded
my TRS-80 Colour Computer II Emulator.  It is freeware available in the 
"pub/msdos/emulators" directory of the oak.oakland.edu FTP site.  The file
name is "coco2-12.zip".

Here's the promo copy I sent to the site:

  This package emulates a Radio Shack TRS-80 Colour Computer II with 64K and
  4 35-track disk drives.  Detailed 6809 and hardware interpretation make the
  emulated environment virtually indistinguisable from the real thing.  
  Emulated CoCo disks are stored in individual MS-DOS files and can be mounted
  in any of the four virtual drives.  Programs are also provided which can
  read and write CoCo disk images on a PC.

  Printer output is supported through PRINT#-1, and the mouse may be used as
  one or both of the joysticks.  All CoCo II screen modes are supported 
  including an optional artifacting mode which "blurs" the hires two-colour 
  mode to get the multicolour effect seen on TVs.  You can also choose between
  inverse or lowercase characters, and a CoCo II or Dragon 32 keyboard for 
  compatibility with the Dragon ROMs.  

  Although copyright prevents the CoCo's ROM from being distributed with
  this package, detailed instructions are provided through which it may be
  obtained from your own CoCo I/II or Dragon.
