I got a ColecoVision about 6 weeks ago, and have been dying to tear it
apart to see what's inside. My better half, though, reminds me that it
is still under warranty, and does not want me to do anything which would
jeopardize her 625,410 point high score at Ladybug (mine is a paltry
188,000). So...

To misuse a phrase which my uncle and his buddies at the ad agency in
Downer's Grove (Ill.) has made nationally popular...  where's the processor?

What is this thing ? a 6502 ? a Z80 ? a 6809 ?
How much ROM ? RAM ?  What's the memory map ?
What is the video subsystem ?
and... what is the definition of the game port connector ?

How would I write software for this thing ?

Anybody in NetLand know ?   Help keep me from going insane...
