To the best of my information: CRC/Disto made 3 versions of floppy disk
controllers. The Super Controller, the No-Halt Super Controller 2 of
which I have one sample of each and the Mini-Controller, of which I have
not seen yet.
I also have the RAM Disk/memory expansion pack, normally released with
512k of memory, however mine was upgraded by piggy-backing half of the
memory chips for 768k. It is clear that another 256k could be
piggy-backed on the other memory chips for a whopping 1 meg of memory
usable as a RAM disk. All three of these have the Mini-Expansion-Buss.
I also have the SASI adapter and the EPROM programmer that plug into the
MEB as well as the 1 meg CoCo 3 upgrade.
