2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

Mark Lynn Marlette (May 1, 1963 - ) is a prolific designer of Color Computer hardware and proprieter of Cloud-9 (http://www.cloud9tech.com), a CoCo software and hardware company in Delano, Minnesota. Though he bought his Color Computer in 1983, his first system was an RCA COSMAC ELF, based upon the 1802 microprocessor.
Over the years, Mark's innovative designs have propelled the CoCo community into a new era of peripheral choice, with perhaps the most significant product being the SuperIDE, an IDE interface for the CoCo which also contains a CompactFlash socket and allows up to four DOS ROMs to be burned into flash.
