[Coco] Re: [Color Computer] Is this likely to work ?

[Neil Morrison]

The question is why and what can be done with this memory? A more 
interesting project would be a combined RAM/ROM card to plug into the 
Multipak under OS-9 which would have, say, 1 Mb of ROM and 1 Mb of RAM. With 
a driver OS-9 could use this to run even the C-Compiler in a fast fashion.

Neil Morrison
