The Microware message should only come up on the CoCo 3.  It is an
overlay/upgrade on Microsoft's CoCo 1/2 work that added and overlayed the
upgrades needed to use the added features of the CoCo 3.

I've had/have a CoCo 2 with 64k Color Basic.  It worked fine.  I played
around with the all ram mode and loading Extended Basic from tape.  As I
recall It did not take much to crash that system and lose all data in RAM.

> One of my Coco2's I got off of eBay comes up to a "Color Basic 1.2"
message and an OK prompt. No Microsoft/Microware licensing message at all.
My other 2 Coco 2's, My Coco1 and 3 all have the Microware/Microsoft
message.
