[Color Computer] [coco] coco1 on ebay

[James Diffendaffer]

The December 1984 issue of Rainbow had the first article I saw for
128K memory but it didn't have a disable switch and it mentions other
upgrades.  This board added banks of RAM in the lower 32K.

I'm guessing that a few programs were found to accidently switch RAM
banks (causing a crash) so another article adding 256K added the switch.

I actually built this 128K board for my CoCo for about $15 but I
didn't have the money for the RAM to go with it so I didn't install it
and I eventually got an Amiga before finishing the upgrade.  I still
have the board though.
