In 1990 that *was* a lot, our family had a stock 1040ST back then and it 
wasn't all that old.  I've been thinking of a memory upgrade for it, one 
of my 500s is new enough that I was able to add RAM to the board, but 
otherwise lack any expansion.  I currently use a 500 from time to time at 
9600 baud as a terminal on my Linux machine :)  Is there an Amiga utility 
for reading/writing CoCo disks?  I've always thought it'd be neat to hook 
a 5.25" drive to the Amiga as well, but other that file transfers, it 
doesn't seem useful....
