I put the piggyback RAM board in, which gave me, I think, 1 Meg of RAM.
I also found that the whole system ran faster and better (especially
under OS9) with two floppy drives.
Programmed that puppy in OS9BASIC and 6809 Assembler...Much preferred
the Assembler. A lot less confusing than Microsoft's assembler! But I
had to shift over to PCs when I figured out that Tandy wasn't supporting
the CoCo system. They took the 40-connector extension boards out of
their inventory and that killed the market right there. Another raid
from Microsoft?
